Take a piece of tissue paper that’s been folded into quarters and create a fan fold. Carry the edge forward and backward to create a corrugated effect.
Cut a piece of yarn the length you want your pom-pom to hang, plus a few inches. Tie this around the middle of the tissue paper in a tight knot. Snip off the shorter end.
Grab your scissors and cut the ends of the tissue paper into any shape you like (some options are in the explanation above).
Then, fan out both ends of the tissue bundle to create that characteristic pom-pom shape.
Voila! Vary the size, color, and length of these to create a truly unique decoration for any spot in your home.
