Whether you’re the next Martha Stewart or not really the crafting type, you need to add these pom-poms to your weekend to-do list. These simple and adorable tissue paper puffs make a great addition to any dorm or apartment. The best part? Each pom-pom takes under five minutes to make!
What you’ll need:
-
Approximately 10 sheets of colorful tissue paper per pom-pom
-
Scissors
-
String (ribbon or floss work too!)
How to make:
1. Layer about 10 sheets of tissue paper on a flat surface.
2. Fold widthwise in accordion style. Each fold should be about one inch wide.
3. Cut both ends of the folded tissue paper into a point.
4. Tie the center of the tissue paper. Wire works best, but floss makes a great substitute!
5. Tie string to the center. This will be used to suspend the pom-pom.
6. Gently pull apart the tissue layers one by one and fluff them into a sphere.
7. Suspend from the ceiling using command hooks. Staples or push pins also work.
8. Repeat in a variety of colors and sizes!
9. Sit back and bask in crafting glory.
There you have it! You can create as many pom-poms as you want in a variety of sizes and colors. This is an easy DIY project that doesn’t take too much time but adds serious style to even the smallest of spaces!
