DIY: Tissue Pom Poms
A couple of weeks ago I hosted a birthday party and because I wanted to splurge on the food and flowers I wanted to be frugal when it came to decor so I made these adorable pom poms out of tissue paper. I love them so much Im going to keep them up for Thanksgiving :)
These are extremely simple to assemble and you probably have all of the supplies already! You can buy bulk tissue paper for very cheap (if you live in Seattle get the tissue at Packaging Specialities, they have a small location set up in Pacific Place if you don't feel like going down to SODO)

All you need for this fun project:
1. Several sheets of colored tissue paper (the amount depends on how many pom poms you make)
2. Kitchen twine or some other kind of string
3. Clear fishing line to hang from ceiling
4. You will also need some scissors





See how easy it is!!! I made these in one night while sippin' on hot cocoa and listening to old school Amy Grant Christmas albums. You just can't beat that :) So come on ladies, kick off your heals, settle in with some hot tea, crank up those holiday tunes (yes, it is time!) and get crafting! These will make an excellent addition to your Thanksgiving table!
*note: if you want to make different size pom poms keep cutting the paper (before you fold it into an accordion) until you have the desired width.
