Tissue Paper Pom Poms

This New Year’s Eve, I am preparing for my little girl’s second birthday! And since my party flower of choice (peonies) are slightly harder to come by in the middle of the winter, I am going for the next best thing: Tissue Paper Pom Poms. I made several and hung them from the light fixture over the dining room table along with little bird models.

The birds on these paper napkins inspired the bird theme. I am using my husband’s grandmother’s gorgeous silverware, they were her wedding gift from her husband. Don’t you just love the stories that come with heirlooms?

It is going to be a very special day for a very special girl!

I have seen these tissue paper pom poms at weddings, birthday parties, and on patios. They are an inexpensive yet extremely fun way to decorate for a party. Just watch the candles around these, party responsibly!
