Martha Stewart's Pom poms

Martha's Pom-poms are a very easy and festive decoration to make, extremely cheap (about $1.50 each!) & BIG on impact! I first saw these a very stylishly clever friend's house, and have since seen them all over the place.


Using coloured tissue paper fold about 10 layers accordion style. Martha suggests stacking 8 20 x 30 inches tissue layers, and folding 1 1/2 inch folds. Crease each fold.








Fold a piece of floral wire over the centre & twist. Then trim the ends into rounded or pointy shapes. I used a long piece of string so they could be hung up later, but a piece of fishing line would be ideal to give the appearance of floating






Fan out the layers, one at a time, pulling REALLY carefully as the tissue paper rips so easily!








Martha says tie something to the floral wire & hang!








Easy peasy lemon squeezy! (Mine didn't quite look like Martha's, or Jane's for that matter, but were still effective!)
