Giant Pom-Pom Tutorial
This spring and summer means lots of fun and colorful possibilities when it comes to entertaining and decorating! Try these giant "poufs" or "pom-poms" that are SO easy to make and bring a splash of color to any room!
First, you'll need some scissors, thread (or fishing line), and tissue paper (it takes about 9 sheets to make one pom pom)
Unfold your tissue paper and stack each sheet on top of each other, lining up the edges making sure it's all neat and straight. Next, begin making an accordion fold (I make mine about 1 inch wide). Keep folding accordion style until you reach the end. When you finish, set something heavy enough to hold the tissue paper down (so it doesn't unfold), and cut each end with some sharp scissors. This will give your giant flowers/poufs/pom poms pretty texture. My favorites are a rounded edge or a pointed one.
Next, tie your thread around the center of the folds, leaving plenty of extra for hanging.
Carefully begin to "pouf" your tissue paper by separating the layers, pulling them straight up.
Repeat with each layer and VOILA!
