DIY Ideas: Blue Japanese Paper Pom Poms


There are many pom pom tutorials out there because pom poms are inexpensive decorations for parties such as baby showers,birthday parties, bridal showers or even a small tea party and are easy to make.

I'm making pompoms for the upcoming first birthday of my nephew. Here in the Philippines,instead of tissue paper it is called japanese paper hence the title of my post.

Materials: Japanese Paper, pair of scissors, wire or twine.

1. Stack eight sheets of  Japanese paper

2. Make an accordion folds. ( Usually 1 1/2 inch wide)

3. Using floral wire, slip over center of folded tissue.Using scissors trim ends into rounded or pointy shapes.

4. Separate layers by pulling  away from center one at a time.

5. Tie a length of thread or twine to floral wire for hanging.

Once finished,hang them from the ceiling for a party or place them at your table as decoration.
