Pinned It and Did It

Thursday is Pinned It and Did It time.
I did a DIY project this week.

I decided to try my hand at these cute pom poms. 

 After making the first one,

 I remembered making something like this back in the day 

at summer camp. 

 Things always come back around don't they?

I gathered my supplies and cut my squares out of tissue paper.

Fold squares into an accordion fold and then place a piece of wire in the middle and secure a ribbon or string.
(I used 8 pieces of tissue paper per flower)

Carefully  unfold the tissue paper to create your pom pom.

  I discovered that the tissue paper that is

 coated on one side works best. 

 The more you do the better you will get at separating the paper.

I used my pom poms to decorate my sad, pitiful

 1990's brass chandelier in the dining room.

I originally wanted to have them hanging,

 but I needed to put two pom poms together

 to get the look I wanted. 

 Sadly, I had run out of tissue paper.

This was a fun little project and not very time consuming. 

 You could do it for a number of different ideas and the color palette is endless.
