Japanese paper pom-poms, or tissue paper pom-poms as they call it in the States, are fun to make with kids. You can let them help with the folding and trimming of the edges.
Do it in large, medium, or small sizes and also try with different colors. Use these pom-poms to decorate weddings, birthdays, baby showers, and other special occasions. No need to buy, just DIY!
Materials Needed:
-Japanese paper
-string
-scissors

How to Make Decorative Tissue Paper Pom-Poms
Step 1: Create an accordion-style paper by folding all 10 sheets of paper evenly.
Step 2: Fold the accordion paper in the middle.
Step 3: Secure it tightly with a ribbon.
Step 4: Cut the edges in your desired shape.
Step 5: Open the folds and carefully lift each paper all the way around.
Step 6: After doing half up, do the other side until it looks like a ball.
Important Note:
For a large sized pom-pom, use 10 sheets of the whole Japanese paper. For medium, simply cut the 10 layer paper into half and proceed with the folding. Lastly, for a smaller version of the pom-pom, you only need to cut the Japanese paper into four.
There you go. A very quick and easy way of making paper pom-poms. Have fun decorating! :)

ReplyDeleteI made paper pompoms for my daughter's first birthday last year. :) Kapagod, I made about a dozen big ones, sinisingit ko lang every time she took a nap, so it took me a couple of weeks to finish! I hung them in our room before the party. Fun!

I wish we had pretty pastel-colored tissue available locally! Would you know where to buy pastel ones?
