Hi! Today I'm going to show you how to make tissue paper pom-poms! They're a little bit tricky at first, but they look beautiful. You could hang them from the ceiling almost anywhere, and they're a nice burst of colour anywhere.
* I suggest using more layers than described in this tutorial for a fuller effect, but less layers are easier to manage.
Supplies:
- Scissors (they have to cut through a lot of layers, so sharp ones work the best)
- Tissue Paper (it doesn't matter what size, but should be a rectangular shape)
- Curling Ribbon
Step 1: Pick your tissue paper colours. Stack them on top of each other and cut to size. There should be 8-14 layers.
Step 2: Accordion fold to the top, making the first one about an inch up from the bottom. Start on the shorter length side.
Step 3: Tie the curling ribbon in the middle of the tissue paper accordion. Cut the edges into points or round them.
Step 4: Separate all the layers of tissue paper. This can be tricky if there's lots of layers, and tissue paper is very easy to rip. I suggest going very slowly and one layer from one side then the other to get it to separate evenly.
Do both sides. Fluff it out a bit, and you're finished!
