Tissue Paper Decor
I'm a self-proclaimed Pinterest junkie. I'm always amazed at how crafty people are and was determined to make most of the decor for the twins' nursery. The problem with this is that I bought all the supplies to begin my crafting when I left work before the twins arrived. Surprise! They came 8 weeks early, so I'm just now getting around to finishing their nursery and all the crafts I had planned.This project literally took me about 15 minutes from start to finish and cost under $5 total. I had seen these in a nursery on Pinterest and had to have them for over the changing table. I purchased white, pink, and blue shades of tissue paper and used some scrap white yarn I had on hand and ta da!
So here's the process.
Take 8 sheets of tissue paper and lay it out in a stack on a flat surface. You can do all the same color or mix them for a multi-colored poof. You can also choose to use fewer or more sheets for varied "fluffiness".
Accordion fold the paper in 1-2" sections (fold as though making a paper fan).
You should end up with a 1-2" wide stack of tissue paper.
Tie either wire, string, or yarn tightly around the middle.
Cut the ends in either a rounded pattern or pointed, depending on the result you desire. I prefer the rounded corners.
Now, fan out each side and gently pull each piece away from the stack and towards the center tie.
Scrunch the ends a touch if you'd like it to look a little "fluffier".
Hang up!
So easy, I was able to make them, hang them, and make lunch all in one nap time. Hooray!
