DIY Tissue Pom Poms
We all love simple easy diy projects that add major impact to a party... here's a great tutorial by martha stewart. you could use any color..go with any size.. and make a beautiful custom detail for your party!
How to Make the Pom-Poms
You'll need tissue paper and 24-gauge white cloth-covered floral wire.
Hanging Pom-Poms
1. Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inchwide accordion folds, creasing with each fold.
2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.
3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.
4. Tie a length of monofilament to floral wire for hanging.
Here's some great examples of how to use this diy idea!

I LOVE tissue pom poms. So cute!
Hope the baby comes soon! Contractions are the worst.
I just love the pom poms. I've been wanting to make some. Thanks for sharing!
Sophia is such a sweetheart! I can't imagine having such strong contractions for so long:( You poor thing. I had intense contractions, but I was only in labor for 7 hours. Will be praying for you!!! Lets go baby!
That is really nice! I would love to use pom poms for decorating such occasions.

So awesome!!! Will definately use this for future house parties or bdays :))) <333
Does this make a full pom pom or only one side?
Also if u want smaller pom poms do u just cut the tissue paper in 1/2 or 1/4s?
Thanks for the tips!
