We love these easy Halloween decorations for doorways and hallways. Our tissue paper pomettes (mini pom-poms) can be done in any color for any occasion – here the combination of black and poppy adds a touch of Halloween flair. Spooky fun!

Instructions:
1. Cut tissue papers to approximately 3″ X 5″. Create a mix of black and poppy, all black and all poppy pomettes.
2. Stack 6 sheets per pomette (diagram A). Make 1/2” accordion folds with each stack (diagram B). Cut points at both ends of tissue (diagram C).
3. Tie centers with 6” pieces of thread (diagram D). Carefully pull ends of each layer towards knot to fluff up the pomettes.
4. String up one long length of thread where you want your decor to hang and attach tissue pomettes.
MS has a kit of these, and I really wanted them, but we all
know MS kits are pricey. Thanks PS for showing us how to create our own with your nifty piece items. Fabulous instructions!!!
Thank you, Ciao!
I love this! I’m throwing a Halloween bday party, so this is a perfect addition to our decorations!
Awesome tutorial! Simple and it looks great!
trixie_pixie – you are so welcome! play with different sizes, color combos & cuts to make them really unique. tip: the bigger the pom, the more tissue layers you will need for a nice round pouf!
