Tissue Pom Poms are a unique, crafty and affordable decor option for an event, especially bridal showers, baby showers or any occasion with a girly theme. They will not only add a beautiful touch to your space, they are sure to impress your guests! Not only are they more affordable than most decor pieces, they are extremely easy to make!

What you will need:

Tissue paper, floral wire, scissors.

Step 1: Stack twelve 20″ x 30″ sheets of tissue paper and begin to make 1 1/2 inch accordion folds.

Step 2: Fold a 20 inch piece of wire in half. Slip over and lightly twist to secure at the center of your folded tissue paper. With your scissors, cut the ends in either a rounded or pointed shape.

Step 3: Begin separating your layers by lightly pulling apart and fluffing (be careful not to pull too hard or you’ll rip the tissue paper).

Step 4: Use the wire to hang your tissue pom poms and enjoy!
