I’m going to be crafty today and show you how to do a pom-pom flower. I know you may think this is kids-craft but is not, I have seen many brides using pom-pom flowers as part of their décor for their bridal shower, tea party or for any fun celebration.
Pom-pom flowers are fun, colorful and they even have an elegant minimalist quality about them…
What you’ll need for one 5” flower:
4 pieces of tissue paper, 10”x5”
18” piece of thing wire, floral or any other type
Scissors
Stock the four sheets of tissue on top of each other. Make 3/8” accordion folds, creasing after each fold. I find it easiest to make one fold, flip it over, make the other, and repeat, so you are always folding up away from you and it’s easy to see.
Fold the 18”piece of wire in half and slip over the center of the folded tissue. Twist the bottom closed. Using sharp scissors, trim the ends of the paper into rounded or pointy shapes. I chose rounded for this one.
Separate the four tissues layers, one at a time until the flower begins to take shape. Depending on what you will use them for, you can keep the bottom flat or you can puff them into a ball for hanging.
You can use these flowers just about anywhere!
it's cute. i have to try this.
