Tissue Poms Tutorial

I love tissue paper poms.  They are fun just to have up in the house! Trying to be economical for Hudson's birthday party I picked up a package of multi colored tissue paper.  You can make those big full round poms easily with about 15 sheets of tissue, but my package only had 6 of each color.  I could have cut the sheets down and made smaller fuller poms but instead I did half circles to be hung tight to the ceiling in pairs.

The pink and green are not for the party, not very baseball themed colors.  I was just having so much fun I had to make the whole package!

What you need-
4-6 sheets of tissue paper (15-20 for a full, round pom)
Pipe cleaner
Scissors
Fishing line

With all your tissue sheets in a neat pile, fold accordion style like a huge fan.

Wrap a small section of pipe cleaner around the center to secure. Attach a length of fishing line to your pipe cleaner so you can hang your pom up when it's done.

You can really change the look of your pom by how you trim the ends. I suggest either a pointed or rounded end.

Now just pull your sheets apart and fluff!
