Tissue Paper Pom Poms

As requested here is a little blurb about my tissue paper pom poms.

For this project you will need:

Tissue Paper (7-10 sheets required per pom pom)
Rubber Band
Fishing string (you know the clear plastic string)
Scissors

This idea is brought to you by this PIN.  This pin will take you to a more detailed tutorial.

This project is very simple.  Take your tissue paper in a stack, and fold it like an accordion, back and forth back and forth.  once the entire thing is folded use a rubber band or piece of wire to hold it together.  You can cut the ends so that it is either rounded or pointy looking.  My pom pom is a pointy one.  Then very carefully, so you don't rip the paper, separate the pieces.  Fluff it a little here and there until you get the look you want.  Tie your string to the wire or rubber band and hang it where ever you like.

VOILA!! 


I think this would look really cute alternating different colored tissue paper.  Good idea for baby shower, birthday party decorations or even decorating a nursery.
