Trc was quickly approaching and I was hosting! I had a vintage garden theme in mind and went searching for ideas that would fit. I came across these lovely soft fluffy tissue flower balls.

Usually used in weddings, showers and birthday parties, I decided to take on the project for the club meeting! Our theme for the year is "Gardening for the Soul" and I thought they couldn't be more perfect. Here's how I went about making them! Instead of just according folding the tissue (I failed twice on as they rip very easily like that) I cut the tissue into squares and used sewing pins to attach each one to a Styrofoam ball. Yes it did take a bit of time to fill in but they each turned out so pretty! |
What you need:
 |
| Scissors, Styrofoam ball, Tissue paper, Pins (I used around 100 per ball), Lace or string to hang |
 |
| Place Pin in center |
 |
| Pinch one side together |
then the other
 |
| Then the other |
 |
| Twist gently around pin. ( You will get the hang of this part quickly) |
 |
| Insert into ball (with hot glue to hold in place if you want to keep it for longer than one night) |
 |
| Work your way around filling in one side and then the other. |
 |
Hang and your finished! I added some silk leaves to add a little depth and color.
Here Is where I used them at our meeting
I hope you get the opportunity to try these! They are so much fun and add such a softness to the setting.
With Love,
