Instructions:

1. Accordion style fold the paper. Crease with each fold. Use about a 14" piece of tissue paper and about 5 sheets stacked.
    
2. Gather the folded tissue paper and bend in center.
    
3. Fold a pipe cleaner in half, and slip wire over center of folded tissue; twist tightly. Tie ribbon or wire for hanging, if desired.
    
4. If you want you pom pom to have the rounded edges like above trim the ends so the they are round before moving on to the next step.
    
5. Separate each layer, pulling away from the center.
    
6. For best results, pull away layers from the top and bottom of one side before moving on to the next side.
    
7. The end result is a fluffy Tissue Paper Pom Pom Ball!
