I made these super easy 'snowflakes' to hang in our window. They look beautiful next to the fairy lights! Each one only takes about 5 minutes to make, here's how...
1. Cut 8 sheets of tissue paper into rectangles 30cm x 60cm (if you want your pom poms 30cm wide. You can of course make them fatter or smaller by adjusting the measurements!)
2. Lay all 8 sheets on top of eachother
3. Concertina fold them (as if you were making a paper fan) started from one of the 30cm edges, so that your finished piece of folded paper is 30cm long, and an inch or so wide
4. Tie a piece of thread around the middle of your paper, and trim the ends into semi circles
5. Now comes the fun bit! Carefully pull the sheets of paper out around the thread, making a soft spherical shape
6. Hang them somewhere lovely!
These pom poms are so pretty, it's no wonder they are popping up on lovely blogs all over the place, here's some great examples

Sooooooo pretty! Have you seen any gorgeous pom poms on your internet travels lately?
