Holiday Tissue Paper Garland!

Holiday Tissue Paper Garland! Great addition to parties or holiday decor! Photo backdrops, at the foot of the bed, room decor, weddings...you name it! These are fun old school looking pom-poms hung on a string! Take one piece of tissue paper... Fold it in half... Fold it in half again... Fold it over in half the other way... Cut on the open end, not the end you just folded. Cut strips of fringe, leaving the top 2 inches connected. Open up one fold... Roll it right down the center tight. Twist and wrap over the ends so the fringe is all on one side and the center forms a loop! Tie it off with a piece of twine... Repeat! I love mixing tissue paper with shiny reflective metallic wraps too! String them on some bakers twine and they are ready to impress!   This post published on Doodlecraft first

DIY and DYE Tissue Paper Pom Poms!

 DIY and DYE Tissue Paper Pom Poms! Red and Green Perfection--okay, pink and mint...but it works! First, you will need to know how to make a tissue paper pom pom. You need 8 sheets of tissue paper per ball. Twine and scissors too!  Take 8 sheets and lay them out flat.  Accordion fold them about 2 inches in width.  Fold entire thing in half.  Tie center crease with twine.  Snip the edges...scallops are what I like best...but  different snips make different looks!   Now, here comes the dying...if your tissue paper wasn't the color you wanted! I got a huge amount of bulk tissue for cheap...but I wanted mint and pink! Take a bowl and 1 cup of water. Add about 6-10 drops of food coloring... Dip the tissue paper thing right into the bowl! It will soak up the water and dye.  Whatever combo of colors you want! Then they need to be opened carefully and set out to dry. It's great if it's hot and you can set them ...
