Pompom Tutorial

While looking for decoration ideas for my sister's baby shower I came across these pictures on Pinterest

These soft and festive pompoms make great decorations for any type of celebration!   They're easy to make and have a great effect!

Materials:

tissue paper

garbage bag ties

scissors

Method: 

1. Layer 8 pieces of tissue paper on top of one another.

2. Fold the tissue paper back and forth like an accordion.  (About an inch wide.)

3. Fold in half to mark the center.

 4.  Unfold and tightly tie a garbage bag tie in the center.  (Use scissors to help tighten twist.)

5.  At each end, round the edges with scissors to create a half circle shape. 

6.  Open the pleats. 

7. Gently separate each layer of tissue by pulling it towards the center.

 (If you want to make a flower, stop here.)

By separating all layers of tissue you'll end up with this type of pompom.

Create another pompom and tie two together (back to back) to create a round pompom.
