We had lots of leftover 'used' white tissue paper from Christmas.
I have a hard time throwing out big sheets of paper...
so a little recycled project came to the rescue...
Tissue paper pom pom flowers how-to's are everywhere -
but here are the basics. Again - my paper was 'used' and not
smooth and neat. I determined an approx. size (6" x 8"?) and
cut enough sheets to make 3-5 flowers of 7-8 layers each.
My edges weren't all perfectly matched and I even had some tan
paper mixed in with the white. Imperfection works for these.
Do a simple accordian fold - tie in the middle and
leave long string ends for hanging...
Snip the ends into points or round them and then peel up
each layer carefully to fill out a flower shape.
Thanks to some Pinterest inspiration - I added mine to tree twigs...
They make a nice addition to my Valentine mantel and will also
work for the remainder of the winter.
What a fun way to spend an hour or so on this

What a fun way to use up the tissue paper Joyce. I remember making those all the time when I was young girl. I think I learned to make them in Brownies if I remember correctly. I like them hanging on your twigs.
Blessings, Betsy
