Well, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month but this was totally by coincidence.
Ying had lots of gifts for her recent birthday, so Sunday, I made pom poms for her room with the leftover tissue paper.
I always feel like I'm showing my thanks and that I value "your" money when I repurpose this stuff.
But guess what? My aunt calls asking about "those pom poms" that I made for her son's party so that she could decorate their doctor's office in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And of course, I was so surprised because I just made these. Am I psychic or what? I love being psychic and I love it when people can do my crafts themselves. Ha!
To make these pom poms, you will need 8 - 10 sheets of gift tissue (the more the fluffier) , a piece of wire and scissors.
1. Stack and align the tissue paper as neatly as possible.
2. Accordion fold the entire stack in 1.5 to 2 inch folds.
3. Wrap a piece of wire around the center.
4. Use really good scissors to cut a scallop on the ends. It doesn't have to be Martha perfect because nobody will be able to tell.
5. Separate the sheets.
I hung mine with my very on fishing string and a removable hook.
