How To Make Tissue Paper Decorations For Baby Shower
Prepare the following supplies for these flowers or pom poms:
- Ten sheets of 20 x 30 tissue paper sheets in colors according to the baby shower theme
- Scissors
- Wire cutters
- Fishing line
- Mounting hooks
- Pipe cleaner
Step 1. Make tissue paper flowers/ pom poms
- Lay the tissue paper sheets flat and align them in front of you and on a flat surface
- Fold each tissue paper lengthwise to one and a half inches
- Turn and fold the paper again, similar to making a paper accordion, until you reach the other end of the paper
- Take a piece of pipe cleaner and tie it around the center of the tissue paper
- Cut a rounded edge on both ends of the folded tissue paper to create the shape for the flower
- Repeat on the other tissue paper sheets
Step 2. Make the tissue flower garlands
- To create the tissue flower garland, tie the fishing line to the pipe cleaner by making a loop on the pipe cleaner and threading the fishing line through them
- Hang the pom poms across the fishing line evenly
- To make the pom poms or flowers look more like flowers, hold one end of the tissue paper and pull outwards to fluff it out
- Repeat on the other side of the folded tissue paper
- Fluff all the pom poms or flowers in the fishing line, but be gentle in pulling them as tissue paper rips easily
- Create different colors and sizes of tissue paper flowers
- Hang them on the baby shower backdrop using the mounting hooks
How Do You Make Baby Shower Tissue Paper Centerpieces?
For something unique, here’s a tutorial for hanging baby shower decorations that you can place over your event tables:
- Prepare white tissue paper, cardstock papers in rainbow colors, a wire, thread, scissors, a sewing machine, and a hole puncher
- Take eight sheets of tissue paper to make the cloud for the hanging decorations
- Stack the tissue papers and fold them one and a half inches and repeat alternating on the sides to create an accordion
- Cut two 10-inch wire pieces and use one to wrap and tie in the middle of the tissue cloud; the ends of the wire should be twisted to one side because they’ll be used for hanging the rainbow drops
- Attach the other wire to the one in the middle of the tissue cloud and leave one end longer
- You’ll have one long tail from the second wire and two short tails from the wire in the center of the tissue paper cloud
- Cut the ends of the cloud into a round shape and spread out the folded paper
- Flatten the top and bottom of the tissue paper to shape it into a cloud
- Cut raindrops in the colored cardstocks
- Sew the raindrops into different thread lengths
- Make holes at the top of the raindrop of each strand
- Attach the raindrop strands to one of the short wires
- Repeat with the other strands and short wite
- Hang the baby shower hanging decoration using the long wire and thumbtacks
