"Happy Birthday SCT!!!! What an awesome milestone…10 years!!! I am so happy to be contributing a little something to help celebrate!!! I have a thing for tissue paper flowers! I make them for birthday parties, Grad parties and mini ones to decorate gifts! Tissue is inexpensive and comes in a rainbow of colors so it makes for the perfect material!
Here are a few super simple steps to help you create these pom moms of fun!!!
Gather some pretty tissue paper.
Make sure to layer 7+ sheets of tissue.
Fold the papers in 1”-1 1/2” folds “accordion” style.
Secure the folded tissue in the centre with twine, floral wire or a pipe cleaner and round the ends with scissors.
Separate and gently pull the tissue towards the centre. Fluff as you go. I like to work on one side at a time.
Tada!!! You have a lovely pom pom tissue flower!!!
You may have seen these a time or two in a few of my photos…
Can’t wait to see how you use tissue flowers to decorate at your next celebration!!! Happy crafting!!!" ~ Vicki Boutin

Awesome project! I will have to try making those flowers myself.
Posted by: Jenn | March 28, 2016 at 10:05 AM
I tried these. They came out okay. I used white and used my sprayer to color, since tissue paper is so expensive. This way you can get the exact color you want for your party.

Pretty flowers!!! I am taking a guess that the grand prize is a Brother Scan N Cut machine with all the fixin's! If it is I REALLY hope I win it!! No matter what it is I know it will be awesome because you have such great partners who are EXTREMELY generous!
Maybe a Spellbinders Platinum Machine with tons of dies and accessories!

I'm so glad SCT is here and hopefully will be for many more years to come! Happy birthday! In this digital world it's hard to find awesome inspiration available in hard copy and I love that I can get it from SCT in both formats!
