pompom garland

3 posts today. what has gotten in to me??

I forgot that I hadn't blogged this yet...and thought that I'd better in case you needed to whip up something quick so your house looks semi-festive and springy for the weekend.
You can find the original Martha Stewart pom-pom tutorial HERE.

Here is my take on it...

What you need:
-tissue paper
-floral wire
-string (for your garland)
fishing line (to attach pompoms)

1. stack 8 -4x5" sheets of tissue paper

2. make an accordion style fold, like you are making a fan.

3. when you finish with the folds, secure middle of "fan" with a small piece of floral wire
4. trim ends (round or pointy)
5. tie a piece of fishing line to the wire, so you can later attach the pompom to your garland.

6. Unfold fan (not pictured...I only have so many hands) and peel out each layer one at a time, until your pompom is done!
(see here if you need to)

7. attach to string.

8. admire from afar.
9. hope kids don't pull it down trying to "smell" it.

the end.
