Tissue Paper Pom Poms
Step 1
Stack the tissue paper neatly and, starting at one end, fold it together accordion style. Each fold should be 1-1/2 to 2 inches wide. Make sure to crease the edges well.

Step 2
Take the wire and wrap it around the center of the tissue paper tightly and cut off the excess. Then tie one end of a piece of string around it to hang the pom with.
Step 3
Fold the paper in half. Cut the ends of the tissue paper into either a rounded edge for a floral look or a point for a sunburst effect. Unfold the tissue paper, hold it in one hand and carefully separate each individual layer. Fluff as needed.
Tassel Garland
Step 1
Layer 2 sheets of tissue paper on top of the other. Cut 1-inch wide strips that reach half way up the tissue paper.
Step 2
Separate the sheets and lay the uncut ends together, slightly overlapping them. Fold your sheets in half lengthwise. It should look like a box in the middle with strips coming out on the right and left sides.
Step 3
Start at the top center of the folded tissue paper and tightly roll it up, forming a tube with tassels on each end. Bend the tube in half, twist it around to form a loop at the top and a large tassel at the bottom and hot glue the twist to secure it.
