Tissue Paper Pom Poms - too cute
in Crafts
We are having a party for my girl's 1st and 2nd birthday. And, since I am now addicted to Pinterest, I have gotten so many cute ideas lol
I am doing a lot of DIY decorations, so I figured I could just start early.
I have already made the outfits, flag banners (which has 40 flags on each one), and started the tissue paper pom poms tonight. Although up close, they look kinda of funky - from a few feet away, I think they look really cute.
I can't wait for the party just so I can share all my craftiness
So, 4 down, about 20 to go

I made some too for my DD's 2nd birthday party. I am wondering how I am going to hang them too. LOL
I am making them into Sesame Street character faces. Basically I am adding eyes to the appropriate color pom pom. I will let you know how that works out.
I plan to start the banner and other decor items today, include cupcake picks, food signs, SS characters and anything else I think of.
I used Martha Stewart's directions to make the pom poms and they worked out great.
I used string to gather the center, and kept a long "tail".
I will be hanging them from tree branches, and on the corners of a gazebo
But, you could just tape string to the ceiling. They are super light, so it is not like they will pull.
