DIY Paper PomPoms

Hosting a baby shower? Bridal Shower? or simply a Summer Dinner Outside? Than this tutorial is for you! Paper PomPoms add the perfect amount of color and fun to any room. They are easy and inexpensive to make and it's a great excuse to have your girlfriends over and enjoy that bottle of chardonnay you've been saving. Once you start, your biggest problem will be deciding when to stop. Have fun! 

Supplies:

• Tissue paper (20 inches x 30 inches). Choose one to three colors, or similar shades of the same color, to keep things from looking like a circus.
• Scissors
• Monofilament
• Floral wire. White, if you can find it.

Here's how:

1. Stack four to eight the sheets of paper on top of one another, depending on you puffy you want them to be.
2. Now, fold the sheets into 1.5-inch accordion folds, all the way across.
3. Prune the ends of the tissue into round shapes, to give them a petal-like look.
4. Cut about a foot and a half length of floral wire.
5. Wrap the wire around the center of the folded tissue and secure it by twisting.
6. Now the fun part! Pull apart each layer, separating it from the center one piece at a time.
7. Measure the length you'd like to hang your pom pom from and cut a piece of monofilament accordingly.
8. Knot the monofilament to the floral wire and hang!
9. Repeat until you've created a pom pom fantasyland. The more, the merrier!
