While perusing the Martha Stewart wedding site, I came across these lovely tissue paper pom-poms. Not only are they easy, but they make a statement, especially when you hang several, like in the picture above. Below, I've outlined how I did my own.
What you'll need: tissue paper, florist wire, scissors...
...8 sheets to be exact
Fold the sheets accordian style on the longest side...
Once you're done folding...
...Round the edges...
...Voila
Snip a bit of wire...
...Wrap it around the centre of the folded tissue
Pull apart each layer...
...Until you have a 'bouquet'... then pull apart the other end/side and...
Voila!
String with fishing line or more wire, pin into ceiling and you're done.
A baby version of the one above, in a darker purple.
Those look great! Definitely trying to decide how a few of those would look in my kitchen next time we have people over haha.

This is so funny, I was literally just looking at this tutorial last week! I'm throwing a baby shower for a girl friend and wanted to use these tissue poms. I'm trying to decide if I should buy them or make them. Yours look fabulous! Maybe I'll give it a try.
