Size paper for tissue poms

lovebride, on April 29, 2012 at 6:44 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 9

Hi I don't know what size of tissue paper to get to make poms. I think I may do different sizes not sure yet. Also how many sheets per pom? Any other instructions would be helpful. I know how to fold tie & cut the ends, pull apart. Someone had put how many sheets they bought & how many poms they made but I can't find it now.

    I just made some and I used 19 by 19 paper and used 8 sheets of paper for each pom pom. Search it on utube and they have great post on there to help you out Smiley smile

    Pom looks a little too much like porn.

    sorry I'm no help, I haven't made any yet.

    Martha Stewart uses 8 sheets http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/226101/pom-poms-and-luminarias

    Tiny prints also uses eight sheets http://blog.tinyprints.com/trends-ideas/diy-tissue-paper-pom-decorations/

    The Motherload uses 7-9 http://momadvice.com/blog/2011/01/diy-tissue-paper-pom-poms-tutorial

    Hope that helps!

    I did a practice run & used 10 20x20 sheets and it just doesnt look right. I'm having a little trouble getting it shaped right ugggg. I also cut the ends in a point instead of rounded.

    I made my first one with pointed tips and it looked horrible also. When you cut the tips off cut about an inch of..maybe a little more. The smaller you make them the fuller the look. I think if you cut more off and cut a rounded tip they will look better. Also,make sure when you put your wire in the middle...it needs to be in the middle. If you have more paper on one side it will make it look weird also. Good luck Smiley smile
