well what a hit the pom poms instore were for the dress week launch! we've had so many requests on how to make these or where we got them from! we lovingly made these at head office and sent them out to the stores (not without a bit of help from martha stewart!!)
they are super easy to make - a bit time conusming but the results are so effective it's worth every minute!
what you'll need
+ tissue paper in desired colors (8 sheets per pom-pom)
+ florist wire
+ scissors
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.
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.
we then secured two halves together to make a large round pom pom and then threaded through fishing nylon (make sure you get thick nylon otherwise they will stretch!)
have fun - enjoy! we'd love to see yours - post them to our facebook page so we can see them!!!
