Baby room decor with crib, chair, and decorative ladder with tissue paper poms

Step 1

To create these poms, you will want about 12-16 layers of tissue paper. First, stack the layers of tissue paper and cut into a square with an imperfect scalloped/wavy edge. You may make whatever size of pom you want depending on this square — keep in mind that the diameter of the pom will be about 1/3 smaller than the length of the square you cut.

Step 2

Crumple up the layers together. This gives your tissue paper pom a beautiful texture. The more crumpled you make the paper, the softer the pom will look.

Un-crumple the layers and, beginning from the center of one edge of the square, tightly fold the edge toward the second edge in a tight fan fold. See the image above for reference.
