A party need decorating. Check out our two variants of the "pom poms".

For a classic pom pom you need tissue paper, scissors and thin wire.

1. Take five major tissue paper and fold them in half. Week paper from the short side in the same way as you would on a cracker. Do not make the folds of broad, then it becomes difficult to unwrap it later. If you want a tighter ball can take more paper, but it is also more difficult to work with.

2nd Wrap a thin wire around the middle ... 3 ... and cut the edges. We rounded our but you might as well make them pointy.

4. Start now gently separate the paper layers, one at a time. One must be very careful. Tissue break easily. Continue until you have a ball.

Our balls were not quite round but it does not so much. We bundled them together and hung them up!

For this, a little simpler version, you need small cake paper, yarn, needle and beads for decoration.

5th Add together 10 to 12 pie sheet of paper and draw a line down the middle. Then sew a straight seam across the line. We used a clothespin to hold the sheets together while we sewed.

6. Fold up the last pages one at a time and you have a nice round ball!

    Hello!
    So happy I was that I found at your side! This I will definitely try to do with kids in my preschool class. Surely we should be able to link with regular thread / yarn instead of using wire or something?
    Regards

      Hello Karin, so glad you found something you like on our site! I think that you should have steel wire, because it makes the structure more stable. Remember to pull apart the paper can be a bit fiddly, and children must be easy on the hands. Freya lost my temper a few times before she finally became happy. Please test at home first.
