Tissue pom poms

It was love at first sight when I saw these amazing paper flowers! 

I've wanted to make them for quite a while, but needed them for absolutely NO reason. That is, until this week for my boyfriends sisters 21st birthday party!  My plan is to hang them at varying heights from a piece of string and various colours. I hope it turns out as beautiful as it seems in my head! 

I used 10 sheets of 18 x 26 inch tissue paper...just the target brand.


Fold accordion style, with about 1 1/2 inch folds. Crease with each fold.


Fold a piece of floral wire in half and slip over center...twist. Trim the ends of the tissue into rounded or pointy shapes or even raggered...I chose round.

Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.

This part was somewhat difficult, and required a gentle hand...tissue paper is very delicate and tears easily! 

 Just fluff and puff until you get the look you're going for.


You can hang these by tying a length of clear thread or ribbon to the floral wire.

Lovely!
