{teach back: tissue paper pom poms}



I recently co-hosted a baby shower and made these cute tissues paper pom poms for a low cost.  They're super quick to make and they look absolutely darling coupled with this.  Here's how...

{tools}


What you need:
  1. Tissue paper.  (Large pom pom = long sheets of tissue paper & you will need 10 sheets per pom pom.  Medium pom pom = a bit shorter in length and width compared to the large  & you will need 7-8 sheets.  Small pom pom = shorter in length and width than the medium & you will need 6 sheets.)
  2. Twisty ties
  3. Scissor
  4. Clear/transparent string.  I used my leftover jewelry string.
  5. Detachable clear hooks.





{how to}

Working length-wise, fold the tissue paper in an accordion/fan style.  Make each fold about an inch.

Tie a twist-tie around the middle of the accordion/fan. 

Round both ends.

Peel each sheet of tissue away by pulling an even amount to one side and an even amount to the other.  Take the clear string and tie it around the center of the pom pom, cutting it at the desired length you want it hanging.  Attach the string to the detachable hooks and stick stick where you please.  Note: Make sure to stick the correct adhesive side to the wall or else it will take off your paint!  I made that mistake!  ENJOY!
