Nice 'n' Simple
Make these fun tissue paper balls for decor or a party!
A friend tought me how to make these a while ago
and I thought they'd be fun to share. They're super
easy and about as inexpensive as it gets.
I made these to add to a nursery for a baby girl,
but they'd be great decorations for a birthday party in fun bright colors, valentines day in reds and pinks, and I'm pretty sure I've even seen them at weddings. The possibilities are endless


You Will Need

  • String or Ribbon
  • Staples
  • Tissue Paper

? Layer your tissue paper and cut a square. (I think this one is about 12 inches and I used 8 sheets of tissue paper. The more paper you use the tighter your ball will be. Also, you'll need less sheets for smaller sizes and more for bigger ones).











? fold your paper accordian style











? find the middle and staple it together 













? cut the ends into petal shapes












? grab the outer layer and pull it down towards the cente











? now do the other side and the other end
too.Keep alternating sides/ends until all the layers are separated.





? Fluff, pull, and twist the tissue paper until you like it.
Don't be discouraged if the first one takes a minute. You'll find what works best for you and then fly through them!
I put a thread around the center of mine and hung them from the ceiling with a thumb tack. You could also use fun ribbon or string.
