DIY Tissue Pom Pom Gift Toppers

Did everyone have a wonderful Easter? My loft was bursting with family Sunday morning. My sister and I made a tasty breakfast while our four teens hunted for 125 filled Easter eggs. I think we may have had as much fun filling and hiding as they did finding the eggs. To continue with the sweet pastel, fluffy bunny tail and spring flower theme, (and because I am just not quite ready to be done with Easter!) today I am going to give you a quick and easy tutorial on how to make these tissue mini pom pom gift toppers. You may be seeing these poms show up again for party decoration in a future post. . . they are just too cute! I am seeing a perfect decoration for baby showers, bridal showers, princess parties and even Mother’s Day. Keep a pastel theme for spring and summer occasions, or use a red and green theme for Christmas ornaments and pom pom gift toppers. So let’s pull out all that leftover tissue and make some of these pretty mini poms! ~ Lia

Bought paper for the wedding gift…but of course forgot the bow. Your tutorial really saved me some last minute wrapping strife. The bonus is that the flowers look a million times better than a store-bought topper. Thanks for the lovely tutorial!

You have to have one incredible pair of scissors to be able to cut the huge pile of paper you’ll end up with! Darn!!!!

  Try unfolding one layer and cut scallops. They can be different, since real flowers do not have perfectly matching petals. 🙂

Handimania has been at it again…

They featured you here: http://www.handimania.com/diy/tissue-paper-mini-pom-poms.html – they mentioned you and also linked back (and this time, they didn’t slap their own logo onto the photos like they do with everyone else, wow), but I saw they removed text from your images. 🙁

Just thought I’d let you know.

  Well I will just have to do a tutorial on making the big ones. 🙂 Just fold less so your triangle is larger and use more tissue.

I love how these flowers look on the mini gift boxes. Wonder if these can be made out of fabric to make brooches and hair clips.
