I saw these at a display window downtown Austin, TX and I feel in love, I was about 6 months pregnant with my daughter and I decided I wanted them for my baby shower. So I looked and looked until I found a good tutorial. MarthaStewart.com has the best one with tons of pictures but I did change some of the materials for things I had laying around. After all, I was trying to make something nice and affordable.
What you need:
- Tissue paper in desired colors (8 sheets per pom-pom)
- Dental floss
- Scissors
- Fishing thread, or any other plastic see-through thread.

Step 1: Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inch-wide accordion folds, creasing with each fold.

Step 2: Cut an 18-inch piece of dental floss and slip over center of folded tissue; tie. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.

Step 3: Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.
