Hanging Dahlia Decorations


I just started going through Martha Stewarts new Magazine and found so many cool things. Here is a great decoration to make for your back yard parties or have at a bridal or baby shower. They are so easy to make and just imagine the possiblities with all the colored tissue paper options!

How to Make the Pom-Poms
You'll need tissue paper and 24-gauge white cloth-covered floral wire.
1. Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inch wide accordion folds, creasing with each fold.

2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.

3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.

4. Tie a length of mono filament to floral wire for hanging.

Voila!

If you have extra tissue paper, wrap your vases and add candles for centerpieces.
