Tissue Paper Poms

Here's the guest post I did over at Two Yellow Birds Decor a few weeks ago for Jill's Blog Birthday Bash. These are simple and adorable decorations that are perfect for a birthday party, baby shower, or wedding. I've been making tons of these, and tons of mini poms for cake toppers (tutorial to come) for my friends wedding coming up in a week and a half!

Tissue Paper Poms

The best part about these is that you probably already have everything you need to make them!

Photobucket

Here's what you need:
Tissue paper
Vinyl coated wire or twisty ties
Scissors

Photobucket

Layer 8-12 sheets of tissue paper and begin folding it like a fan.

Photobucket

Then fold the tissue paper in half and tie the wire around it.

Photobucket

Make one cut at the middle fold of each section, to cut the sections in half.

Photobucket

You'll end up with four sections of fold. At this point take each section and start separating the layers.

Photobucket


After they are all separated, gently pull the layers in different directions and fluff them. You can fluff them all around so you end up with a round pom, or leave a flat side to hang on a chair or use as a table centerpiece. I left mine flat on one side.

Sorry the pictures aren't great, but I hope you get the idea.

Hopefully I'll have a few more pictures to show them in use after the wedding!

Happy Thursday!

  6. Those are adorable! I've never seen them done with the split but it makes them fuller and rounder! I am going to have to try it that way next time! Thanks for the tip and for linking up to the Pomp Party! Pinning!

  12. Liz,
    These are amazing! I can't wait to create some poms for my house. This would be a great way to add color for the holidays and not have to store more decorations! My husband will love this idea. Thanks so much for sharing at Creative Thursday last week. I can’t wait to see what you link up this week. Have a great day

  17. Hi Andy, Thanks for sharing different version of making PomPom. Breaking the fan in three parts before pullling the layers certainly makes the pompom more fluffy and big.

  29. I'm amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that's both
    equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy
    that I found this during my search for something concerning this.
