Tissue Pom-Poms

You will need…

• Tissue Paper in Your Choice of Colors or Patterns – 17″ x 30″ for Medium Pom-Poms and 20″ x 30″ for large Pom-Poms, 8-11 Sheets per Pom-Pom Ball (the more sheets, the fuller the ball)
• 24 gauge floral or craft wire – About 6 inches of wire per Pom-Pom Ball
• Monofilament or string for hanging
• Scissors

Now you’re ready to make some poms!

1. Stack 8-11 sheets of your choice tissue paper(s) and make 1 1/2″ wide accordion folds, creasing with each fold. You can either make the ball one solid color by stacking 8-11 sheets of the same color tissue..or it may be neat to stack 2 varying colors (pink/yellow/pink/yellow) to incorporate multiple colors in one ball!
2. Fold a 6 inch piece of wire in half and slip over the center of the folded tissue and twist to secure. With scissors, trim the ends of your folded tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.
3. Separate the layers, pulling away from the center one at a time.
4. Tie a length of monofilament or string to the floral wire twisted in the center for hanging.
