How To Make Pom Pom Tissue Flowers

How to make pom pom tissue flowersimage from MarthaStewart.com

Paper flowers are such an easy creation you can make with tissue paper. They’re fun, vibrant and colorful – a great way to decorate for a party or room decor. Martha Stewart sells the pom pom kit – if you would like to purchase the kit. Remember the darling nursery room post last week with all the flower pom poms? In case you didn’t see:

Here are easy step-by-step instructions to make giant paper flowers:
How to make pom pom tissue flowers
Step 1
Take 10 sheets of tissue paper – lay on a flat surface. I used 20″ x 30″ sheets. Starting at the short end, make a fold at least 1.5 inches wide. Simply fold accordion-style – flip tissue stack over and make another fold. Continue folding until you get to the end of the tissue. Make sure to press firmly creasing with each fold.

Wrap a pipe cleaner (or florist wire) tightly around the center of your folded tissue.

Step 3
Make two cuts at the very end of the stack to make a point or round it – depending on the look you want. Repeat on the other end.

Gently pull each piece of tissue towards the center of the flower, separate each tissue sheet from the others one at time. Fluff and fiddle with until the desired shape is found. These flowers are approximately 18″ in diameter.

    Is there a reason why mine keep coming out with a flat bottom area? I am feeling really stupid that I just can't get them to be a ball shape. I am using 10 sheets of tissue. Is there a certain way you are supposed to pull the paper? I am holding the folded end and pulling it down towards that is that right. Please help I have a wedding in a week and I need to get this sorted out. Thanks

    Hang cup hooks (or utilty hooks) and attach monofilament line to the lanterns or pom poms. Make sure the hooks are large enough to hold the weight.

    I think they are just gorgeous, although i wonder how they would turn out if you instead used Tulle…..???? I think Tulle would look equally as fluffy & would last longer etc (although no one will be playing with the paper ones anyway). I'm going to attempt making them in Tulle for my girls bedrooms, thank you for that link , they are gorgeous & will be a lovely feature.

    I just made a practice pom-pom with clearance tissue paper I bought from Target. The pop-pom turned out really well for being multi-colored and my first attempt! Now that I know what I'm doing I can find paper to match the playroom and go crazy! 🙂 Thanks so much!

    FYI to the commenter who was thinking about tulle, i tried this one:

    https://www.oncewed.com/7560/diy-wedding/decor/diy-wedding-pom-poms/

    but personally, I wasn't thrilled. I felt it looked like those bathroom loofahs. I will be doing these pom poms out of tissue paper. I did several last night from Martha Stewart's kit (DONT spend money on it, it's just floral wire and tissue paper, luckily I got it from a friend), and it turned out awesome. I too couldn't quite get the bottom to fluff out, but I decided to use these as table centerpieces, so it actually works perfectly for me.

    Try using a couple less tissue sheets. Sometimes if the tissue paper is too thick it will be harder to "fluff". Experiment a little bit : )

      I haven’t had that problem. Could it be the thickness of the tissue paper? Maybe try using not as many tissue papers and if that doesn’t work try using more tissue paper. Not all tissue paper is created equal. Good luck!
      Let me know how it turns out : )
