Printing Paper Poms! Beautiful DIY Decorations

Aren't these so pretty? These came into being when my sisters and I were hosting a garden party. We wanted to make tissue paper poofs... but didn't have any tissue paper, only colored printing paper. I love the result even more than if it had been tissue- it's less flabby and will last for a long time!
TO MAKE ONE YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING:

 ♥ 18 sheets of colored paper 
(thin is fine... thick doesn't form as well) 
♥ Wire 
(pipe cleaners work too!) 
♥ Ribbon 
(to hang them with)



We added stands of glass beads to the bottoms for a flowy feel. You can also put bows and flowers on them too!

Try alternating different shades of paper like white and pink.



These are so easy to make! If you want to make smaller ones,for variation, just cut the paper in half (so it is 5.5"x8.5")


 I'm going to hang these in in my little girl's room!

  6. Those could be a grand design if you have garden parties. I'd like to try that out using my printer paper at home. Thanks for sharing. I'm inspired by your unique idea.
