Fluff Pom Poms from Lolly Jane Boutique


Today's tutorial comes from the sweet twin sisters from Lolly Jane Boutique.
...

 
Supplies. What you need:

Step 1: Layer (8) 20x30" sheets of tissue paper hortizontally.
Make 1" accordian folds vertically, creasing each fold.
Tip: I use a credit card to deepen the crease... the creasier (is that a word?!) the neater it looks :)

Step 2:  Fold a standard size twist tie (or 4" floral wire) in half and twist over center of folded tissue.
Note: Be sure to leave a tail for easy hanging later on :)
 

Step 3: Using scissors, trim ends of tissue into decorative round or pointed shape.

Step 4: Separate layers by pulling away from the center, one (flimsy) sheet at a time.
Warning: The sheets may tear so give it some TLC  :-0

Step 5:  Simply ribbon around loop and hang. 


Optional TwiSt:
Use as a gift topper!  Cuh-ute, right?! :)

Ooooooooor you can use as a napkin ring!  Love the idea, Martha ;)
Size: 10x5" sheets of tissue paper with 3/8" accordian folds. Enjoy!

    I used them tissue paper pom poms at my wedding and LOVED them. They were SO easy to make and inexpensive. Everyone commented on how much they added to the space!

    I am currently making a bunch of these for a baby shower. A pipe cleaner also works well (instead of a twist tie). I purchased the 20x20 sheets from the dollar store. I've been using 10 sheets per pom pom and have trimmed them down to 16"x20". I LOVE them!!!

    They are decorating my whole house until the shower :-)

    These are just darling. I am making some for an upcoming party . . but I love the idea of using them on a gift or as napkin rings. So festive.
