As I thumb through wedding magazines and read my daily blogs, I can't help but notice all of the simple crafts that I am dying to make. My artsy-fartsy abilities are rather lacking; I can dream it, but when it comes to actually making it, I leave all of that to Maggie who is much more adept in the art department. BUT I just had to try to make these simple
Martha Stewart Pom-Poms.
So many brides are concerned that their venues will look too open or empty, and, while I love flowers and all their magic, sometimes they just aren't enough to make the space look intimate and express a bride's personality. These pom-poms can hang from rafters, trees, ceremony chairs-the sky (and your crafter's patients) is the limit!
I had some leftover tissue paper from my last wedding and since I loved the colors, thought this would be a great way to try my hand at crafting. These would be great for a birthday party or shower as well.
Here are the instructions from
Martha Stewart Weddings- I would suggest following her picture step-by-step instructions
How to Make the Pom-Poms:
You'll need tissue paper and 24-gauge white cloth-covered floral wire. (Note: all I had was jewelry wire...gotta love a substitute)
1. Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inchwide accordion folds, creasing with each fold.
