| Tissue Pom-poms |
These tissue paper pom-poms are great for decorating gifts, brightening a lamp shade or use them for festival decorations. They look brilliant in pastel shades for Easter or green and red for Christmas.
Time taken for us to make: 45 minutes to make five
Cost to me: £0.99 - I bought a pack of 100 sheets of brightly coloured tissue paper for 99p in a cheap bookshop.

| Original instructions |
What we used:
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Needle and thread
- Several different coloured sheets of tissue paper
- An empty fruit pot
What we did:
We took 2 pieces of tissue paper in different colours and folded them together a couple of times to make several layers. We then drew around a fruit pot to make a perfect circle and then cut it out to create 8 circles of tissue paper, 4 in each colour.

We then folded each circle in half and then quarters. Amelie helped with this bit.

To attach the circles to each other we threaded a needle and tied a large knot on the end. We threaded each folded circle through the corner onto the cotton, alternating the colours. A large knot was tied to secure them.

Now for the tricky bit... we carefully pulled each circle open forming a pom-pom.
We then pegged the pom-poms to Amelie's lampshade - We think they look FABULOUS!
