How to do it

Step 1

Remove four sheets of tissue paper from one of the pom-poms, and accordion-fold them along the pre-scored lines.

Step 2

Fold a length of wire around the center, and twist to close (leave a 6-inch tail of wire for attaching to wall). Working in batches of four to eight sheets, which will make some of the pom-poms fuller, repeat to make a total of 30. Then repeat to make a total of 10 mini pom-poms. (Optional: Mix tissue paper in different colors; use a red sheet on the bottom to make a darker pom-pom.)

Step 3

Fan out the layers of tissue paper: Separate one sheet at a time, and pull it upward. Repeat with each layer, then with each pom-pom.

Step 4

Position the pom-poms on the wall: Play around with placement and use a pencil to lightly mark where to stick each hook. Attach the hooks to the wall, and use excess wire to hang pom-poms.
