First you'll need to gather your supplies. All you need is some tissue paper, some pipe cleaners (that are now called "Fuzzy sticks"), some ribbon and some scissors.
For each pom, you'll want at least ten pieces of tissue paper. If you use more, you'll make it a bit fuller.
First, lay your tissue paper in a stack. For this one, I alternated using white and lilac tissue paper. Then accordion fold your tissue paper, like you did when you were little and made fans out of notebook paper at school.
Then just fold it in half so you'll know where your halfway point is.
At your halfway point, wrap your pipe cleaner around the tissue paper and then tie your ribbon to the pipe cleaner. You'll use your ribbon to hang the pom so make sure it is longer than the tissue paper.
If you want a smoother edge, you can use your scissors to cut shapes. I just made a rounded edge for this one but I've also cut out a triangle for jagged edges. Be creative!
Next, you'll start unfolding your tissue paper like I show below. This part is near impossible to photograph and make sense but you'll do this to each side. About halfway through, start unfolding in the other direction so you'll get a round ball.
When you're done, it should look something like this. For this part, just eyeball where you've got some spots that need more tissue and arrange your tissue how you want. Sometimes, I have to cut some of the tissue at the top to make it a more rounded shape, but I just eyeball the edges I want cut off and keep snipping until I get the shape I want.
Then you're ready to hang where you want! I hung this one on my fireplace mantle and since I don't have a party coming up, it became a dog toy like my paper lanterns did for the 4th of July.
