Tissue Paper Pom Pom Tutorial

Today I have my first subbing job

I just got done student teaching 

but do not want a full time teaching job right now due to being due with baby #2

at the beginning of the next school year and because right 

now I just feel like I am supposed to stay home with my kids

So I signed up to sub to earn a little extra money but will 

only be doing it here and there so I will be home almost all of the time still

 So while I am kickin it with the Murray High kids today

and missing my little man 

 I am going to be leaving you with a fun party decor tutorial 

so enjoy!

Tissue paper Pom poms are so fun and can be used for so many different occasions

I have used them for birthday parties and to decorate M's room 

They are also cute for wedding receptions, summer parties, Christmas parties 

well all sorts of parties really. 

They are also super cute in baby nurseries 

And the best part they are so EASY to make

and super inexpensive 

What you will need:

-Tissue paper 

(how ever many packages you want pom poms and whatever colors you want)

-Scissors

-String or fishing line string

What I did:

1. first you want to take your tissue paper out 

(you will want at least 8 sheets I just used all that came in the package which 

I think was 12 that made it more full and fluffy looking)

And lay it out flat 

2. Then you want to start cutting your deign on the two long ends of the tissue paper

You can do these triangles like I am showing here

I also did little arches on one 

and I did bubbles on another

It is fun to have the different shapes 

Once you cut out your shape on both ends it will look like this

3. Then you are going to start folding on the end that wasn't cut

You will fold the whole thing accordion style

until it is all folded to the other end

4. Then you are going to tie the string around the middle of the accordion style 

folded tissue paper

5. once your string is tied and knotted fan your paper out 

like so

6. Now comes the fluffing part that makes it into the pom pom shape

You are going to gently pull the sheets apart fanning it out

7. Continue fanning out and shaping as you go doing both sides 

make sure you do this gently so your paper does not rip

Tissue paper can rip easily so do this part slowly

Then you are done!

Once you are done just hang them by the string that you knotted the middle with

Super Easy, fairly fast, cute personalized and 

best of all CHEAP!

Now go and make your own for your summer parties!
