Tissue paper wreath

Since I saw the tissue paper pom pom, I couldn't help but be inspired to do them for the wedding. However, I don't think they can be used for the wedding itself, but they had lent a hand for birthdays, housewarmings, and soon to the bridal shower.

Materials:

* a styrofoam wreath form
* 2mm monofilament
* 22 gauge wire
* a hot glue gun
* an upholstery needle
* wire cutters

Instructions:

• Using Martha’s guide here, cut your tissue into 10×5 rectangles.
• Accordion fold the shorter side, approximately 3/8″ - 1/2″ per fold.
• Fold the wire over the middle and twist.
• Cut wire approximately 1/2″ from edge.
• Round the corners of the tissue paper.
• Begin pulling the layers away from each other and toward the middle of the wire. Don’t be afraid to scrunch the tissue - once I began pulling a little harder and scrunching the tissue closer together, the “flowers” became prettier!
