Pom Pom Flowers

For Jason and Kristen's shower I thought I would get a little creative and try to make some decorations.  I saw these pom pom flowers on another blog and thought they looked like something I could make.


First, you will need tissue paper (I used 4 - 5 large pieces), scissors (maybe), a pipe cleaner, and ribbon.


Next, cut the tissue paper in half, giving you a total of 8 to 10 sheets.
**I read where you could use napkins instead of tissue paper.  I thought that was a neat idea if you could find the color of tissue paper you wanted.



Then you will take your stack fo paper and start to fold it like a fan.


Tie the pipe cleaner around the middle.


And begin to fluff.



I took the pipe cleaner and made a little hook so I could loop the ribbon through.  Depending on where you are going to hang/place these, you could do the same.


Viola, you have a pom pom flower!

  2. My friend Teresa taught me how to make those from kleenex many, many years ago. I can't even remember what we made them for! They sure are pretty.
