Here’s a simple How-To on making those gorgeous Dahlia Flower Tissue Paper Pom Poms you see in magazines and on the Internet. So easy, you’ll be looking for places to hang them around your home! They’re such a fun summer craft.
How To Make Tissue Paper Pom Poms Easily!
1. Start by stacking eight to twelve 20×30 inch sheets of tissue paper of all the same color.
2. Measure from the short edge of the paper up 1.5 inches and 3 inches and mark at each spot.
3. Start to accordian fold the paper from the short end all the way up the length of the paper in 1.5 inch increments.
4. Fold the paper in half to find the center and tie a ribbon, fishing line or floral wire around the center to hold the paper in place.
5. Using scissors, trim the ends of the paper into a point or rounded.
6. Start separating the tissue paper layers from each other, pulling toward the center CAREFULLY.
7. Pull the layers all the way around the pom to create the full Pom look you’d like.
8.. Using a ribbon or fishing line, hang the newly made Pom from the ceiling or light fixtures.
That’s it! You can now create beautiful Pom Poms on your very own!

I made 400 tissue paper pom-poms for my daughter’s wedding and they made a fantastic effect. Really wonderful! Thanks.
Thank you for your post! When doing my daughter’s party I looked through many to find a non-wire needing puff ball and your post was very helpful, in fact I shared it (http://diy4mommies.blogspot.com/2012/06/pirates-pixies-party.html). Hope others see your great ideas.
Thanks again!

Super easy yielding a great result. That’s the best.
You know, I actually thought this project would be so difficult but thank you for proving me wrong. :]
These are so cute and I want to make them for my daughters 2nd birthday! Where did you find your 20×30 tissue paper? I have only been able to find 20×24 at best.
I found my tissue paper at Target. But, really any large size paper will do!
These are great. I have to remember this for the next baby shower I go to and Imake the paper plate hat.
This is great. I have to remember this the next baby shower when I make the hat for the moms.
