I've seen some Pom Pom Garland tutorials that I would love to try. I am wanting to make some bigger ones for Izzy's birthday party. I saw this one using floral wire, but do you think you could sew the middles together and sew several different pom pom's together to make a garland or banner??

Here is the tutorial I saw:

I made those exact poms for a baby shower, and had a bunch left over so I hung them up in my girls' room- believe it or not, they are heavier than you think. a garland would end up being pretty heavy unless you made little poms.

if you make one, I wanna see! they are so pretty and festive

It took me several poms to get just the right amount of paper. My first one was so dense with tissue paper I couldn't even get them all pulled out. So then I only used like 5 sheets and it was pitiful. I think 8 sheets was the perfect balance. And I fluffed and fluffed till I was sick of them :oP

I'll have to find my photos of the little topiaries we made with some smaller poms. Stuck tiny newborn diapers in pink metal buckets, then topped with the pom on a stick.

found a couple, not very good pics but it sure was fun to decorate a pink themed shower!

SOOO PRETTY!!! I just love those...thanks for the tips. I really appreciate it. I need to get on it. I wish i wasn't sick...I only have this week to get stuff done. Running a little more behind than I was for Lucas' bday!

These are some of my favorite decorations! I took a local class with my mom and my daughter to learn how to make them. They were a little time consuming but well worth it in the end!

oh my gosh how did I miss this thread last week my sister and I...one afternoon last week made 6 of these for my daughter's Birthday Party in various sizes. The tutorials we found were helpful in getting us started but we ended up figuring out a different technique that made it go SO MUCH smoother...

I am planing on using these to decorate our yard for my daughter sweet sixteen in a few months. So please share your photos. All this info is so helpful.

...I am just sitting down to put the photos on my computer from the party...my sister and are also making more for her daughter's sweet 16...this time in zebra print should be FUN!!! Photos coming soon!

Thanks Renee, these are awesome!
