Pompom DIY

pom pom pomperdy pom

in craft group yesterday we made pompom's

little effort, big results and fun

we used all kinds of colored tissue paper

and followed this easy photo how-to from Martha Stewart

the tutorial prescribes rectangular sheets, which results in more round shaped pompoms than square sheets

around 7 sheets per pompom worked really well for us

the round roses out of a thicker paper are fun to make too

fold a rectangular sheet of sturdy paper like an accordion,

open them and set them in a circle with double sided tape

if you add strings to the pompoms and circles, they would look really nice hanging above a party table

do you remember the beautiful mobile I found in Chicago a few months ago?

well, I finally took a moment to put it together and hang it above the table in my craft room

two white tissue paper pompoms, two smaller white and blue striped ones

and the mobile, all attached with washi tape to the lamp

I love to look at them, slowly moving, overlooking the maple tree in our garden that currently is in full bloom

now this is Happy Spring !
