Read this to learn how to make cheap and easy tissue paper pom poms. Consider all of your options before you begin building. This article will teach you how to make beautiful pom poms that are sure to bring some fun.

More than likely, you do not have these items sitting around your house. You will need to go to your favorite arts and crafts store to get supplies for this project. The first thing on your shopping list will be the tissue paper. Consider what colors you would like to use. You may use one or two colors. More than that will make the pom poms look messy. If you are making these pom poms to cheer on a team, you should use their colors.

The next thing you need to consider is what you will use to hold onto the pom pom. The best option is a plastic dowel. Make sure your hand can fit around it. If a child will be using it, have them test it out. Wood may also work but you should make sure it is very smooth. Otherwise, it may leave splinters.
There are a few ways of structuring your pom poms. Glue, tape and staples are common ways off attaching the pom pom tissue to the fixture. There are advantages and disadvantages to each option. For instance, staples are a sturdy option. However, they may fall out. So if you have small children, you should not choose this option.

Tape is also often on hand for many users. Scotch tape is the most common but is not well suited for this project. The reason for that is that it is not durable. Your pom poms will quickly fall apart. Duct tape is very durable but not very pretty. If you are using tape, your best option is clear mailing tape. This is very inexpensive.

Tape and staples work, but glue is the best option. You may use a clear white paste, such as Elmer's. This is inexpensive. If you have children around, you will need to watch them to make sure they do not try to eat this paste. This paste is also not the strongest type of paste, so your pom poms may not last a long time. Super glue is the strongest type of glue you can use. If you choose to use this glue you should be very careful. Do not allow children around this glue. This is the messiest option. A glue gun may be the easiest way to go. The gun will be hot while heating up, but then it is very easy to use. However, young children should not use the glue gun.

Once you have decided on your materials, you are ready to go shopping. Art and crafts stores will carry everything you need. Make a list to make sure you get everything you need. All of the materials for this project are low cost.

Now that you have learned to make fun and easy tissue pom poms, you can begin. Use necessary precautions in the construction process but make sure to keep it fun. Once you have your final project you are ready to cheer
