Poms Galore

From Cheeks Celebrations
One of our favorite ways to add that special touch to a party is the ever so popular decorative tissue poms! Whoever came up with this is a genius! The possibilities are endless as seen 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.

      You can make garland, stems, or napkin holders. Poms even work as tree decoration and 
                                                            centerpieces!

Add a pom to your next celebration!
