Tissue Pom-Poms

Have you seen the beautiful tissue paper flowers blooming at fancy parties? They are very easy and inexpensive to make. Customize your next party with a few of these beauties! Inspired my Martha Stewart's tissue pom-pom tutorial, I made my own. Here's how I did it...

supplies: 1 pack of tissue paper (9 sheets), a pipe cleaner, scissors and some fishing line.

Step1: Fold all 9 layers of tissue paper accordion style into 1-1/2 inch sections. Fold in half.

Step 2: Twist pipe cleaner around center fold. Round edges and trim.

Step 3:  Pull gently to separate layers. Working on opposite sides each half to shape.

Step 4: Tie a piece of fishing line to your pipe cleaner, and hang from your ceiling, viola! 

Love this idea for birthday parties. Pick colors to match your theme and experiment with different sizes! To see Martha Stewart's Tissue Paper Pom-Pom's How-To http://www.marthastewart.com/how-to/tissue-paper-pom-poms-how-to.
