The latest and greatest DIY project comes from Good Ole Martha herself. The tissue Pom Pom! This cheery project isn't just delightful decor for your next dinner party, wedding, or a little princess party, they're wonderful to hang in your bedroom or around the house too!
I must mention I am in love with these orange and coral colors going on here - sooooo pretty :)
All you need is some colorful tissue paper and 24-gauge white cloth-covered floral wire, and you are in business! Maybeee just don't advise Martha help you in that department...
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.
Napkin Rings
With just a few changes, these follow the same steps as the hanging pom-poms.
1. Stack four sheets of tissue. Cut a 10-by-5-inch rectangle, going through all layers. Make 3/8-inch-wide accordion folds.
2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, slip over center of tissue, and twist to secure. Trim ends of tissue.
3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.
4. Bend wire into a loop to fit around napkin, and twist end around loop to secure.
