Tutorial DIY Bola/Letra Pompons

Deixo-vos com um tutorial DIY fantástico da Event Jubilee para fazermos uma Bola ou Letra com flores-pompom. Uma excelente ideia de decoração simples, barata e feita por nós! Gosto disto...

Necessary material:
Tissue Paper
Floral Wire
Styrofoam Ball
Ribbon

First thing you will need to do is cut down your pieces of tissue paper. This is totally up to you but do bear in mind the bigger the piece of paper that your using the bigger your flower will be. (One quick hint would be to fold the paper until you get the size your looking for and then just cut along your folded lines)

Your paper will end up looking similar to this.

Next step will be to do an accordion fold.  You will fold one way then flip and fold the other. When you are finished it should look like this. . .

While the tissue paper is still folded you will need to fold it in half. The general purpose in this is to find the center of your flower.

To give the flower a more realistic look you can draw a curved line on the top. As you do more of these you will not have to use this line.  Now all you have to do is cut along your guide.

 

 Now you will need to take the wire and wrap it around your tissue paper. After you have done that twist the wire together. Now make sure you wrap the wire tight around the tissue paper otherwise your flower will not be very sturdy.  Then you will need to spread open the two sides to prepare for the opening of the flower.

 
Now you are able to begin separating the layers. To make sure you flower is rounded I suggest altering sides as you work. It should begin to look like this. . .

Now you are done with the hard part.  You will need to make 45-50 flowers per pomander.  Once you have completed all of your flowers you will be able to start putting them into your Styrofoam ball.  First step here will be to insert your ribbon into the ball. I used a piece of wire to make sure that it was secure.

Take your flowers and insert the wire into the ball. . . continue until your ball is filled.

And there you have it tissue paper pomanders!
