Tissue Paper Pom {{Tutorial}}

Remember this cutie from the BRIDAL SHOWER GARDEN PARTY?
Here is how to make your own : 

 You will need : 
tissue paper (about 20 sheets)
scissors
and floral wire

start by laying all your tissue paper flat on top of each other
Start accordion folding your tissue paper all the way down
 After it is folded
secure the middle by tying a piece of your floral wire around the middle of your accordion fold.
*This step is optional*
but you can now trim the ends of your tissue either rounded or pointed to make your poms look more like flower petals

now carefully start pulling each layer of tissue upward one at a time until all layers have been seperated
*careful - it rips easily*
and that's it!
you have a full beautiful tissue paper pom
just use a piece of string or ribbon to hang your pom from the wire in the middle
:)

  7. How long will these last? I love the idea and need to make them ahead of time. If I make them on Tuesday for the party on Friday.. will they still be as pretty?
