Hello there, Ellery Designs readers! I’m Laura from the blog Monograms and Moscato. I love to share DIY’s, home decor, and yummy recipes! Today I am excited to share this simple DIY for Tissue Paper Poms – it’s perfect for some easy spring decorating! We had warm weather this weekend in the Midwest…and by warm, I mean 50’s but I’ll take it! I wasn’t motivated enough to get out all my spring decor, but I decided to make a little spring themed DIY to keep the kitchen feeling springy! Trust me when I say you can make this. The best part is you should have everything at home! Find the easy step-by-step guide below!

What you’ll need:

• tissue paper
• scissors
• hole punch
• yarn, string, or twine for tying

Instructions

First, set out your large piece of tissue paper.

Fold it in half.

Fold it in half again.

Fold it to make a triangle and cut off the extra.

Fold the triangle in half.

Fold triangle in half…again.

Finally, fold the triangle again to form one last smaller triangle

With the folded edge as a point, mark a half circle onto triangle (the key to it turning out is making sure the point you draw the half circle on, is the middle of your pom!)

Trim tissue with scissors, discarding top of triangle.

Open tissue petals and stack layers in rotation

If you’re making half a pom, fold in half and hole punch in center and tie with twine

If you’re making a full pom, then repeat the steps to make another layer of petals and tie the first pom and second pom together. (shown below)

Attach to box, or hang!

Yay, you did it!! How adorable are your poms!?

xoxo,
Laura
