Hanging Pom-Poms
1. Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inchwide accordion folds, creasing with each fold.

2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.

3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.

4. Tie a length of monofilament to floral wire for hanging.

It sounds great and easy but im not sure.. Im gona give them a try this weekend and Ill post the finished product

I did these for my cousins bridal shower decor and they were absolutley stunnning! We actually used one of them for her "bouquet" at the rehearsal!

FYI*** I used the Martha Stewart kit to make mine b/c when I tried to create it myself, it did not turn out good.

I did these for a girl's spa day (youth at my church), & they went crazy over them!  They really are a perfect touch for kids & grown ups alike, & I think are beautiful for any Bride/Wedding related function.  

They can be very time consuming, but once you get the hang of it, it really isnt so bad, especially once you see the all hung up.  I recently made mini-pom poms, & attached the to spraypainted branches  that were rolled in sparkles for my sister's function at church.  She vased about 5 of them per table.  They were absolutely gorgeous.
