So, when I came upon this awesome post in pinterest (http://kellyhicksdesign.com/) that showed how to make them I was thrilled! I had a ton of tissue paper from my baby shower that I knew I would never be able to use all of so I pulled it out of the cubbard and gave it a try. I am going to show you step by step of how I did it as I think I added some good ideas.
For medium pom poms fold about 6 pieces of tissue paper in half like so.
In order to keep all of the sheets together while I folded it in an accordian style I used paperclips on both sides.
I folded the tissue paper accordian style.
I used a thin piece of ribbon to tie the middle of the accordianed tissue paper stack.
I rounded both edges but cutting them (You may have to cut in several layers as they are a little think)
Fan open each side and start separating out the layes. Pull aggresively, but be careful not to rip the paper.
Play with it a little bit to make sure it looks even and round all over.
I used a paperclip hooked to the ribbon in order to be able to hang it up :)
Done! Wasn't that fun?
I am going to make a bunch more of these to hang in Levi's room :) I will post pictures when I finish that project.
Have a nice day folks!
