Description

Brighten the universe and fill every inch of it with giant, colourful pom-poms. Cut, concertina and fan your way through sheets and sheets of tissue paper and never be stuck for a set or a prop again...

Instructions

  1. Stack the sheets of tissue paper on top of each other.

  2. Carefully concertina the stack of tissue paper.

  3. Take the rubber band and tie it around the middle.

  4. Cut both ends of the tissue paper into semi circles.

    Turn your tissue paper on its side and fan out either end.

    Very carefully pull up each individual sheet of tissue paper towards the rubber band.

  7. Keep going until you have done roughly half the number of sheets you started with. At this point you will see you have half a pom-pom shape.

    Turn your pom-pom over and repeat step 6 with the other sheets, so that you create a fully rounded pom-pom.

  9. If you want to hang your pom-pom from the ceiling, cut a long length of fishing wire and tie it around the middle where the rubber band is. Ignore this last step if you are scattering your pom-poms.
