Wedding Project #7: Paper Pom Poms

This was a really fun project. All it took was tissue paper, fishing line, and a pair of scissors. It probably cost about $25 because I bought a LOT of tissue paper (from the dollar store). I found it on the Martha Stewart website. I copied it out below:

How to Make the Pom-Poms

You'll need tissue paper and 24-gauge white cloth-covered floral wire.

Hanging Pom-Poms
1. Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inchwide accordion folds, creasing with each fold.

2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.

3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.

4. Tie a length of monofilament to floral wire for hanging.

I would like to thank Hannah, Vicki, Sarah, Kate, and Britt for spending an evening making about 50 of these pom-poms!

At the reception venue, we were not allowed to put any nails into the walls, but luckily for us, they were already there! Here are some pictures of how they turned out!


In this picture, you can see the pom poms along the wall behind us
as well as hanging from the ceiling.
