Wow that looks easy although time consuming. Next party I have here I am gonna make 20 or 30. so much prettier then balloons. Thank you for sharing this idea. I get most of my tissue paper from the dollar store -- comes in packs of 20 per pack. Is that tissue paper strong enough to use? It shows the ends were cut rounded, but end product the pom looks like points on ends? Maybe I need better glasses --- I suppose either would work fine.

You are too funny Linz!!
To make the big poofs you need tissue paper that is approximately 20 inches x 30 inches (or 50.8 cm x 76.2 cm). I used three colors: pink yellow and white
So you take like 8-12 sheets of paper and stack them up ( I like to use about 10/12 sheets becasue it makes a fuller pom pom). Take the stack of tissue paper by one end and start folding it accordion style like this:
you keep folding the paper like that until you reach the end and have a nice fan like shape. Then tie a string around the center. I used Hot pink ribbon. To make the pom pom look pretty, you should also cut each end to make it round like this:
then separate the layers by pulling each sheet of tissue up carefully like so:
After I've pulled apart each piece of tissue paper I "fluff" the pom pom to make it a more uniform ball.
Let me know if you get stuck with anything, but they are really easy to make!!
WOO HOO! I can actually do something for this wedding! I feel like I've been planning a prewedding with this engagement party, so its nice to take a break from that stuff to do actual wedding stuff!
you're such a sweetie. I was pretty pleased with the center pieces although they were different from the orginal one I made. But everyone complimented us on them, so I'm happy about that!
