Just get two colours that you like or think will match.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Let8217s_begin\">Let&#8217;s begin:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You will need 12 layers in total. This will give the\u00a0poofiness\u00a0and fullness that makes a\u00a0pom\u00a0pom\u00a0look grand.<\/p>\n<p>First, you want to determine the size of your\u00a0pom\u00a0poms.<\/p>\n<p>If you want the largest size like mine, then you do not need to cut the tissue paper. If you want it to be slightly smaller ones, you can cut into halves or a quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you want to stack it up.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Option_1\">Option 1:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Alternate colours. So, Colour A, Colour B, Colour A, Colour B, Colour A, Colour B, and so on.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Option_2\">Option 2:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you want one of the colours to be dominant and the other as an accent, you can do this:<\/p>\n<p>From bottom up: 2 Colour A, 1 Colour B, 2 Colour A, 1 Colour B, 2 Colour A, 1 Colour B, 1 Colour A, 1 Colour B, 1 Colour A.<\/p>\n<p>This way you will be starting and ending with the same colour with a handful of the second colour as an accent.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Option_3\">Option 3:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you want them to be completely separate but in the same\u00a0pom\u00a0poms, you can do half Colour A and half Colour B in top of it.<\/p>\n<p>I chose to do option 2 as it is fitting with the theme I was going with &#8211; the two-toned leaves on a tree.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-160 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/makingdayscount.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20170712_194412-1-e1532744853794-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makingdayscount.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20170712_194412-1-e1532744853794-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/makingdayscount.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20170712_194412-1-e1532744853794-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"Second_fold_in_an_accordion_style_from_one_end_to_the_other\">Second, fold in an accordion style from one end to the other.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>You can fold about 2 inches for large ones, 1.5 inches for medium ones, and 1 inch for small ones.<\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"Third_secure_the_middle\">Third, secure the middle.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Tie a twist tie or a floral wire around the middle of the\u00a0pom\u00a0pom\u00a0to make sure that everything stays in place.<\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"Fourth_cut_the_edges_with_your_scissors\">Fourth, cut the edges with your scissors.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Usually, there are two types of edges, a round one or a pointy one. You can decide which one fits better for you. Or, you can create and cut your own pattern at the edge.<\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"Fifth_decide_if_you_want_a_fullpompomcircular_ball_or_a_halfpompom\">Fifth, decide if you want a full\u00a0pom\u00a0pom\u00a0(circular ball) or a half\u00a0pom\u00a0pom.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>If you are making a full\u00a0pom\u00a0pom, you need to decide whether you are going to tie it up and hang it or just leave it on a flat surface. If you are tying it up, you&#8217;ll need to tie a string on the twist tie or around the\u00a0pom\u00a0pom\u00a0and have at least 1 feet or 12 inches remaining to tape to the ceiling or tie on a light fixture.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you&#8217;re making a half\u00a0pom\u00a0pom\u00a0like me, then you do not need an additional resources.<\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"Final_step_you_open_thepompomup\">Final step, you open the\u00a0pom\u00a0pom\u00a0up.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/thesweethostess.wordpress.com\/2013\/03\/05\/how-to-fluff-your-tissue-pom-poms-to-perfection-tutorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to fluff your tissue pom poms<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you are making a full\u00a0pom\u00a0pom, open half on one side and half on the other.

Try to pull them as high as possible and close to the centre.<\/p>\n<p>It is okay not to pull up the last few layers, but it&#8217;s a good idea to separate them from each other. You can then fluff the\u00a0pom\u00a0pom\u00a0by putting your fingers in and gently comb through them like running your fingers through your hair.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s pretty much it.
