Martha made them popular but I think the tissue pom pom is a really simple project that gives you a lot of bang for your buck. I'm all about stretching a dollar especially for party decor, leaving more money for the important things. These were perfect for my "Save a Boob" party.
I took a package of solid pink tissue and cut all the sheets in half to get the size rectangles I wanted. Using about 8 layers stacked on top of each other, fold them into and accordion fold, about an inch to and inch and a half wide.
Once the sheets have been folded together, cut the ends to the desired shape, I used scallops. Then I used some thin ribbon to tie the center, leaving the ends long to help with hanging them later.
Fan out the accordion and start to carefully separate each layer and fluff. The paper can have a tendency to rip but if you do, you can just fluff the layers around it and it will disappear.
I made a couple different sized pom poms and tied them onto the curtain rods. If I had more time, I would have kept making them and lined the entire top of the window in them!
Along with the pink puffs, I hung the boobie garlands I had made for last years party. It was great to re-use the garlands, it saved lots of time. By mixing them with the pom poms and some pink streamers, I was able to make a new look!

So sorry we had to miss this. :(
ReplyDeleteSome good secret news:
I know a lady who is a chemist in CO and they believe they are super close to finding a cure. Their new drugs were actually put into the lab rats TODAY! Let's all keep our fingers crossed, and our boobies perky!
