I made these pom poms for my friends 40th birthday. His love for the wall street journal inspired his wife to make a WSJ cake and needless to say I jumped on the idea. She had tons of newspaper and we used it to make pom poms, giant paper flowers, streamers etc. It was not the easiest thing cause newspaper, as supposed to tissue paper, has sharp edges so had to be careful but the outcome was fabulous. I used black silk ribbons to tie and suspended it from the vault and the lights from the backdrop set the mood perfectly.
