DIY Tissue Pom Poms

These are great to make as decorations to hang all over for your parties. You can really save a lot of money making them yourself. They are great indoors and out.

I really love making my own decorations when I have parties its fun and easy.

For each pom-pom, you will want to use between 10-15 sheets of tissue paper. (Most Dollar stores have tissue paper for a buck.) I made some with the 1/2 size sheets and then tried a few with 10 full-sized sheets and they all turned out great!

Step 1 – take 10-15 pieces of tissue paper

Step 2 – fold tissue paper in sections (1-2 inches probably) to create a fan.

Step 3 - trim the ends (you can try different shapes at the end to change the finished look, but I mostly just rounded them off)

Step 4 – secure in the middle – like I said earlier, you are supposed to use “florist wire” but string worked great, pipe cleaners would work or if you have a heavy duty stapler.

Step 5 – gently pull sheets towards the middle, 1 by one. Once you do half the sheets, flip it over and pull the remaining sheets the other way to create a circle

The first few did take me longer than probably needed as I was trying to be incredibly careful not to rip the tissue paper. However, it turns out that even if you do rip it a little, it doesn’t really matter! They still turn out looking great.
