"Happy Birthday SCT!!!! What an awesome milestone…10 years!!! I am so happy to be contributing a little something to help celebrate!!! I have a thing for tissue paper flowers! I make them for birthday parties, Grad parties and mini ones to decorate gifts! Tissue is inexpensive and comes in a rainbow of colors so it makes for the perfect material!
Here are a few super simple steps to help you create these pom moms of fun!!!
Gather some pretty tissue paper.
Make sure to layer 7+ sheets of tissue.
Fold the papers in 1”-1 1/2” folds “accordion” style.
Secure the folded tissue in the centre with twine, floral wire or a pipe cleaner and round the ends with scissors.
Separate and gently pull the tissue towards the centre. Fluff as you go. I like to work on one side at a time.
Tada!!! You have a lovely pom pom tissue flower!!!
You may have seen these a time or two in a few of my photos…
Can’t wait to see how you use tissue flowers to decorate at your next celebration!!! Happy crafting!!!" ~ Vicki Boutin

Great flowers!
Love the tissue pom pom flowers! Just beautiful! Can’t believe we are at Day 8 already! Happy 10th Birthday SCT!
Love those giant tissue paper flowers. I made small ones years ago. Glad to see them coming back for parties. Thanks for the great giveaways and HB@U.
Tissue paper pompom flowers – a blast from the past. Now I can create these with my 3 granddaughters! Great birthday prizes, too! Thanks.
Loving all the great birthday prizes!!! WOW! tissue pom pom great idea:)
Love the flowers!
Awesome project! I will have to try making those flowers myself.
I tried these. They came out okay. I used white and used my sprayer to color, since tissue paper is so expensive. This way you can get the exact color you want for your party.
I’ve always wanted to try making the flower Pom-Poms. Thank you for sharing the flower Pom-Pom tutorial. Now I can try it out! Happy Birthday SCT!
Love those tissue paper flowers and another great giveaway!!
a scan and cut?
Fun pom poms Vicki and love all those fabulous scrappy products!!
Fabulously fun and festive way to decorate! Love tissue paper flowers.
Pretty flowers!!! I am taking a guess that the grand prize is a Brother Scan N Cut machine with all the fixin’s! If it is I REALLY hope I win it!! No matter what it is I know it will be awesome because you have such great partners who are EXTREMELY generous!
Maybe a Spellbinders Platinum Machine with tons of dies and accessories!
Happy 10th Birthday and I am off to hunt for today;s cupcake! See you tomorrow!
