The Pom Pom "How to"


You need:




-Tissue (4 sheets a Pom)

-wire (floral will work)

-ribbon (fishing wire will also work)

-Scissors


*Optional: A Little Robert hanging on your leg.

I bought this tissue from Target for .99cents:



Open and lay 4 sheets flat (feel free to use more, it will just make a thicker one):


Fold in an "accordion" style (bet you haven't heard that since 4th grade) in 1 1/2 inch width. Keep in mind "accordion" is a similar to a "hot dog" reverse fold for all you kindergarten graduates out there.


Cut a piece of wire to fit the width of your now "accordion" tissue and fold in half. Then slide over your "accordion" and fasten. You can also go ahead and put your ribbon on (just fasten it to your wire).

Here is the optional part- you can round your edges with scissors, snip a triangle out of them or just leave them alone. Then make a sort of flower bouquet out of them and pull each layer out one by one.
