Papercraft: How to Make an Easy Paper Pompom
Put your own spin on these fluffy, pretty paper pompoms for parties, dinners or year-round decoration
I love craft projects that can be done quickly and for little money. These paper pompoms fall into that category. These pompoms have made their way around the blogosphere as decorations for special occasions from showers, to weddings and birthdays. But they can easily translate to home decoration too. They add a playful element to any room, and they aren’t just for hanging from the ceiling, either. Here’s my easy-to-make take on this fun idea.
Once your pompom is hung, adjust the layers until you're happy with the look.
I hung my pompom with pieces of fine tulle I had on hand.
If you want the illusion of the pompom floating in mid-air, use fishing line.

To use these pretty paper blooms on flat surfaces just pull the tissue layers open to one side only so one side of the pompom remains flat. This way they can used as wall art, tabletop decoration, or tied to chair backs for a party.
Smaller versions of these pompoms can be used as gift toppers too — the possibilities go on and on. Decorating with your own paper pompoms? We’d love to see your photos!
