Today we have a Guest Post from Liz at

Here's to Handy Andy.

Happy Blog Birthday Jill! In celebration of Jill's birthday bash, I'm going to show you all how to make simple and adorable decorations that are perfect for a birthday party, baby shower, or wedding.

Tissue Paper Poms

The best part about these is that you probably already have everything you need to make them!

Here's what you need:

Tissue paper

Vinyl coated wire or twisty ties

Scissors

Layer 8-12 sheets of tissue paper and begin folding it like a fan.

Then fold the tissue paper in half and tie the wire around it.

Then cut the folds in the center.

You'll end up with four sections of fold. At this point take each section and start separating the layers.

After they are all separated, gently pull the layers in different directions and fluff them. You can fluff them all around so you end up with a round pom, or leave a flat side to hang on a chair or use as a table centerpiece. I left mine flat on one side.

I'm actually making these for a friend's wedding, so I don't have any pictures of them really in use, but I hope you get the idea.

Thanks so much for having me Jill! Happy Blog Birthday!

**Those are so fun!!! What a cute and inexpensive way to add decor to any kind of party! They look so easy to make too. Thank you so much Liz for sharing this awesome tutorial with us today!
