How to make tissue pom flowers - Design Dazzle

I’ve had a couple of requests on how-to make tissue pom flowers. I’ve posted this tutorial before. If you’re not interested in making your own poms, PartyPoms from Etsy sells great tissue pom flower kits.

DIY: tutorial tissue pom flowers - Design Dazzle

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 posted with all the flower pom poms? In case you didn’t see:

ย Tissue paper flowers

Here are easy step-by-step instructions to make giant paper flowers:

Step 1
Take 8-10 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
Cut the very end of the stack to make a point or round it – depending on the look you want. Repeat on the other end.

Step-by-step instructions on how to make tissue flowers - Design DazzleStep 4
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 the tissue until the desired shape is found. These flowers are approximately 18″ in diameter.

    We have done these for the last three events we have thrown and they are a huge hit everytime. We have found so many ways to work them into the decor. I love that we can customize the colors by heading to our local party store and perusing the paper napkin aisle. And my teenagers love to fold them!

    At first, they don't look like they'll turn out, but they do. If at first it seems like it won't look like this, just keep going and it will. Go with 2 colors that compliment each other, like blue-green or purple-pink. Use your favorite sprot team colors, or add some glitter. My aunt made these for my cousin's birthday, and people were amazed to see how easy it was.

    My oldest daughter had these everywhere for her bridal shower & wedding. I still don't know who made them (kept forgetting to ask!), but wondered how they were made into balls. The ones I learned how to make were half-domed. Lol, who'a thunk to use 2x the tissue paper & just not fold it in half. I feel pretty silly for not seeing it, right off. These are great! Thank you for showing us this way – I'd have felt like a dolt, finding out, in person. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Ok silly question, I just made one of these and it’s flat on one side and rounded on the other. How do I get it to look like a ball like these in the pictures?

      Meilssa,
      Maybe the tissue paper is too thick? There are varying degrees of thickness. My tissue paper was fairly lightweight – maybe that is why the tissue pom was more rounded for me. It’s just a guess.

    I am having trouble getting mine to look like yours ๐Ÿ™ I am making these for our end of year office luau and would really love for them to look as good as yours! Any pointers? Yours do not show any discernible middle where mine is glaring. I have tried to pull the paper more but I am worried about ripping. To you pull long ways or horizontally when you begin? How do you get it to look round all the way and from what point do you hang them from?
    Sorry for all the questions! ๐Ÿ™

      Rebecca,
      Maybe use less sheets or thinner tissue paper. Tissue paper has different quality thickness. It sounds like maybe your paper is to thick. Try that and see if that works for you. I don’t think the direction (pulling which way) mattered that much. I hang it from the pipe cleaner. Good luck!
