I made a whole slew of tissue paper pom poms for our Sweet & Salty party, and they were a cinch to make! Here's a little how to so you can make some for your next party!
You will need: tissue paper, hole punch, wire, and wire cutters.
Take 4-8 pieces of tissue paper and accordion fold them, at least 7 times.
Make a hole punch in the center of the folds.
Thread a piece of wire through the hole.
Twist it closed.
And twist the wire into a loop.
Now, shape the petals with scissors.
For this one, I did scallops, but triangles look cool too.
Fan out the accordion folds.
Then gently pull up the tissue layers one by one.
Soon you'll have a lovely collection of flowers to string on a garland.
Stunning! Love the colors you used :)
