Okay so everyone has seen these tissue pom-poms… right?? They’re everywhere these days, and for good reason. Not only are they a super cute decoration, but they’re cheap and easy to make too! They would be adorable in a nursery, but since I already have a mobile hanging from the ceiling in Liv’s room and a pink polka dotted flying cow from FlyingZoo hanging in Elle’s room, the ceilings are at their max. Soooo, I was excited to incorporate the pom-poms into a party I planned. Here’s the link to the instructions on how to make these yourself. You can pick up tissue and wire for pretty cheap, but Martha Stewart has a kit for these at Michaels, and I think it’s worth the extra money. The tissue in the kit is heavier weight than you typically find at a party store, which makes for a fuller, sturdier pom-pom.
We hung these with 3M hooks (gotta love those things!!) & invisible thread over the food spread and outside the front door. They were a big hit at Liv’s party and one of the easiest party decorations ever!

I love these! Thanks for sharing the tutorial link. =)
any ideas on how to display the pom poms without hanging them from the ceiling?? i bought a kit at michael's to use for a bridal shower, then found out the ceiling are much to high and not safe to go up to hang anything! i really want to use the poms so i am browsing online for ideas! thanks.
Liz, how about hanging them from a string or ribbon hung across the room from wall to wall... I'm thinking something sort of like this: http://www.makegrowgather.com/posts/2010/6/24/summercraft-simple-decoration-for-paper-lanterns.html
although not necessarily the lanterns they're using there.
my only other thought is to maybe make half pom poms, where one side is flat, and hang them on the wall?
