Tissue Poof Balls

I love making these tissue poofs for parties, they are such an easy, adorable decoration & super cheap too.

What You'll Need:
-10 sheets of Tissue Paper
-Scissors
-Thin, cuttable wire
-[Depending on the thickness of your wire] Wire Cutters
-Ribbon or Fishing Line Wire

 1. Fold the 10 sheets of tissue accordion style, back and forth until you've folded the entire bunch.

 2. Cut pieces of wire for each poof... about 4 inches long.

4. Wrap the wire around the center of the folded tissue sheets to hold in place securely.

5. Cut the square edges to a more tapered, round edge on both ends.

6. Here's the fun part! Gently pull apart the separate sheets of tissue from each other as far as they will go and create the poofiness of the poof!

 

7. Last, decide if you want them to 'float' [use fishing line] or visibly hang [use the ribbon] and tie one end to the wire in the center of the poof. It may take a few minutes of hunting to find it, but it's best to save it for last so you can decide which side you want to be up and which side to face down [you can see the down-facing side best when hung up].

All done!!! See my next post to see how they turned out.
Do you have a favorite go-to decoration for events? =)
