tissue paper pom-poms

I followed Martha Stewart's super easy steps to make tissue paper flowers for
Valentine's day.


Step 1
Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inch-wide accordion
folds, creasing with each fold.


Step 2
Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue;
twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.
*I used pipe cleaner here instead and it worked well.



Step 3
Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.


Step 4
Bend wire into a loop to fit around napkin, and twist end
around loop to secure.


 
Happy crafting!
