Pom Poms!

There are a few things in this world of ours, that make my heart flutter.

A clean and organized home, my kids acting silly, my husband's bulging muscles, and these...

These are going to be part of the decor for an up and coming RS birthday dinner!

Pom poms!!!

I stole this idea from the queen herself, Martha.

These are so easy and can be made in many sizes!

Step 1. Get a pack of tissue paper. Usually a pack contains 10-14 pieces of tissue paper, which is perfect for this little project. Depending on the desired size, you can either cut a few inches off of the side of the paper or don't cut it if you want a large pom pom.

Step 2. Next, fold the pack of tissue paper like you would a fan. Approximately 1 1/2 inches wide. Easy peasy.


Step 3. Wrap a cloth covered piece of wire (these can be purchased at any craft store) around the center of your fan and twist tight.

Step 4. Once you have folded the pack of tissue paper, you will need to cut the ends. You can cut the ends in a point or a heart shape, or a rounded ended! It's up to you! Use your creativity!

Step 5. Fan out the folds then pull one sheet of the tissue paper up to the center. One sheet at a time. Once you have pulled up about half of the stack of papers, turn it over and repeat the same process. Rinse and repeat.

Step 6. Fluff away baby! Fluff, fluff, away!

Oh! Gorgeous!

Tie a piece of clear fish line to the wire and you can suspend these lovelies from the ceiling!

If you want to kick things up a notch, you can alternate colors. Ooooooo, oooooo, awwwww.
