Paper Pom-Pom Tutorial

 

Below are some quick steps on how to make your own paper Pom-Pom flower.

 

Materials:

Tissue paper

Scissors

&

Flower wire for gardening

 First cut your tissue paper in the equal squares.  This is just one sheet cut into fours and than layered on top of each other to create a small pad of tissue paper.

2. Accordion fold the sheets into even creases.

3. Repeat step 2 until you reach step 4.

 

5. Cut the end of the accordion folds in a crescent cut leaving behind a nice scallop edge.

6. Use floral tie-wire to tie off the center of the accordion fan.

7. Fan out the tissue and begin to pull up gently from one side to the center.

8. Repeat step 7 from the other side than back again from one side to the other.  This should end up leaving more of a round flower form than a squared flower form.

 

In the end you will have a nice full paper Pom-Pom Flower.

This can be used as all sorts of decorations.

Present toppers,

Wall décor,

Table settings,

Chair backers,

Etc. 

 

So have fun with it.  Layer it with different colors, and try different cut edges.  Sunday I will show you how to make a full circle pom-pom and how your can make those into garlands.
