Answer: A simple Christmas decoration.
Using large sheets of white tissue paper, I followed the Martha Stewart instructions for making pom poms but before moving onto Step 3 (separating the layers) I cut into each end of the strip, just like making a paper snowflake.
Top tip: don't cut too far towards the middle as the paper just rips when separating the petals out.
I use shirring elastic to hang them up as it gives them a lovely bounce when they are caught by a breeze.
So our first Christmas decoration is up and our house is full of large and medium sized snowballs all bobbing along. What can I make next?
How lovely, this made me smile.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and a nice spin on boring flat snowflakes. I might have to try these.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I think it's a project for a child-free day though!
