"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
