You will need tissue paper {any color you want. I bought mine at Joann Fabrics.}; Ribbon {I'm using curling ribbon.}; and Scissors.
Take a stack of about 8 - 10 sheets of tissue paper and start folding according style 1 - 1 1/2 inches.
Once it is all folded, take a piece of ribbon {long enough to tie around the tissue paper and hang up your pom-pom} and tie it around the center of your tissue paper.
Cut the ends with either a rounded, or pointed look -- depends on how you want your pom-poms to look. Be careful, it can be hard cutting through all those layers though! :)
Open it up like a paper fan you used to make while growing up.
Separate each layer of tissue paper gently, you don't want the tissue to rip. Then fluff out your pom-pom to get this look....
Look you created your very own tissue paper pom-pom! Go crazy and create a ton of these for weddings, parties, baby/bridal showers, or just to decorate around your home.

ReplyDeleteAre there any tricks to fluffing these.. mine looks more like a butterfly than a pom-pom and I'm not sure what to do to fix it.
ReplyDeleteThe More tissue the better!
DeleteThose are beautiful! I have the perfect reason to make them now, my daughter's baby shower coming up in a few months.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried making any with different colors in the same pom pom? I'm curious to see what those would look like.
