so I thought i'd have a go at making some tissue pom pom's after seeing some at a wedding the other weekend! they were easy and i found everything i needed to know about making them on pinterest (of course) and here is the result..
i won't add a tutorial because there are so many good ones about but the basic principle is to pleat seveal sheets of tissue paper (i used 6 which measured 9x13" which is a little bigger than an A4 sheet of paper) tie a piece of string around the middle, i added a bit more length so i could tie it to make a garland, and then using some sharp scissors cut a rounded petal shape to each end and then carefully so not to tear the tissue paper, unfold it until you are happy with the end result!
the tissue paper i used was from the works and i bought 100 sheets for 99p! in lots of different colours! bargain! this tissue paper is quite thick so i would definitely recommend the thinner stuff and using more layers you'll create a more fuller look! so after i had made my pom poms i just tied them all to a length of string and popped it up and i'm super happy with it! i used colours of similar tone to they compliment each other but would look just as lovely all in the same colour or a mix or three etc!
hope you like it!
