decorative pom poms

I must admit that I am a bit in love with these pom poms. I made these for my friends daughters first year birthday. She asked me to make the pom poms as part of decoration so I added the ribbons incase she wanted to hang them and they sure add an elegant touch. The best part about these were that everyone actually thought they were flowers and the older girls at the party used them as party hats,  with so many boys in our house I don’t know why my mind din’t go there. I enjoy making them, they look so pretty almost anywhere. These were made from tissue paper and it was relatively easier to make than the ones I made from newspaper. contact me if you would like to buy these, they come in different sizes and colors and can be custom made for your next event.

photo 3I 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.
