Pom-Poms...where to buy/how to make?

Options
Hello all

Planning to have lots of pom-poms hanging as decoration at our wedding venue....would like them in blue/turquoise and beige/white.

Does anyone know where you can buy these in bulk/wholesale...no idea how many we should be buying...
...also are they quite easy to put together?
Thank you in advance!:j

    Oooh they are so easy to make and really fun and cheap too! I've got a house full of them because they are addictive! I'll find you one of the guides I used x

  • Thank you for the link!

    I'm prepared to buy loads of tissue paper and make them all, with the help of some friends of course...I think they are quite simple and lovely, we're going to hang them in the garden/grounds of our venue and also within the reception room.

    Great :) They are quite time consuming to "fluff up" so make sure you allow plenty of time. We're using them for our reception decorations too hanging from beams :)

    I would suggest hanging them up once mad, ie in the spare bedroom, this will help keep them fluffy. You can also make the with tulle fabric. When shopping for lots of tissue paper shop somewhere like Country Baskets if there is one near you.
