Pom Pom Christmas Decorations

120409puffs.jpgWe have quite a bit of tissue paper left over from the pom poms we made for our daughter's birthday, so we were thinking a bunch of white ones might add an ethereal quality to our holiday decor...

 
 

Looks like we're not the first ones to think of using those little guys as a frugal decoration. Caroline made these pretty gold ones and strung ornaments from them as well. You can even make mini pom poms and string them into a garland for your tree.

Once again, the pom poms come through- an affordable, child-friendly, easy DIY decoration that has a lot of impact.

The pacifier in this photo made me smile.

I made some of these using plastic grocery bags. Red and white from Target bags= candy striped pom poms!
