I could run around saying that word all day! POM! POM! POM POM POM!
I was asked a couple of days ago for some ideas for decorating a bridal shower and poms (!!) are what instantly flew into my head. Simple, inexpensive and exactly what the doctor ordered for a gloomy day! These suckers are a cinch to make, so there's really no excuse for not having them plastered all over your house... and that bridal shower you're throwing!
Martha Stewart has the best instructions for making them, so let's all grab a fluffy pillow and learn!
1. Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inch wide accordion folds, creasing with each fold.
2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.
3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.
4. Tie a length of monofilament to floral wire for hanging.
And here are some pictures, for the visual learners out there!:
Wonderful! These little bursts of perfection can be made into... wait for it... NAPKIN RINGS. I seriously just think I died a little on the inside!
