"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

Great decor idea with the tissue paper flowers. Remember we used to make them out of Kleenex tissues to decorate the wedding cars? Or... Am I showing my age!? Very pretty I'm going to incorporate them in my gift wrapping in lieu of a bow. Thanks for the idea

Thanks for the tutorial for the fabulous flowers you are famous for at your Crop and Create Events! Love them!! The prizes today are absolutely fabulous...yet again! Such generous sponsors! My guess for the grand prize would be some sort of "techy thing"...lol... a sophisticated die cutting machine perhaps. THanks for all the fun you are providing us with!
