So that’s the big news!
If not, oh my goodness are you ever about to love me!.First of all, they’re so easy that I didn’t even make these this time.
I let Kennedy do all the work and take all the credit and I just snapped some pictures while we did a little back deck crafting.So that’s saying something!.Here’s how it goes!.
All you need is some basic tissue paper (like from the gift wrapping department), some scissors, and some kind of string or bendable wire.. To make a large pompom, use 6-10 sheets full-size sheets, to make smaller pompoms, cut the sheets in half and use 6-10 half-sheets.. Stack your sheets and fold them accordion-style, making your pleats about 1.5 inches wide..When you’re done, it will look like this:.
Perfection not required!.
Next you’ll tie your string around the middle of the accordion.. You’ll feel like you should tie it really tightly, but don’t.It’s OK, house, I still love you..
I decided I still needed something mantle-ish to accommodate my decorating needs, so Chris built me a little something..The top is reclaimed barn wood and the legs are old 2 by 4s that Chris took out of the wall upstairs when we was re-studding Kennedy’s closet.. I’m not quite done decorating it yet, but I’m sharing it anyway.
I wanted to get some hay and maybe a big mum for underneath it, but I then I didn’t.The weather-vane was at the house already when we got here.
