It is difficult to imagine any holiday, be it a wedding, birthday or christening, without beautiful dishes, unusual accessories and solemn decoration.

The room where the holiday takes place is usually decorated with balloons, flower garlands, ribbons and weightless paper pompoms. And if you think that in order to decorate your home as well, you will have to order decorations in a store, then you are mistaken. In fact, making paper pompoms with your own hands is incredibly simple. It's so easy that you can produce paper pom-poms with conveyor speed.

Pompom paper

It is worth paying attention to the choice of paper for the future pompom. You don't need to use normal office paper, since it is quite difficult to “fluff up”, and the pompom can come out too heavy. Also, do not take crepe paper for these purposes. It stretches and in the course of work the ball can inadvertently turn into an oval or even into an incomprehensible figure. The perfect pom-pom can only be made from tissue paper. This light paper, airy and fits perfectly where you point it.

Pompom size and density

Everything is simple here. The larger the sheet of paper, the larger the pom-pom will be. From a sheet measuring 50 * 50 cm, a pom-pom with a diameter of about 40 cm is obtained. The density of the pom-pom will depend on the number of folded sheets. The more paper, the fluffier the pom-pom will be.

Pompom holder

You can bind paper with a wide variety of materials. It can be a stapler bracket, chenille, a piece of wire, a thick thread, a plastic clamp (screed).

How to make a paper pom pom

To do this, take at least ten sheets of paper with silence and fold the entire stack with an accordion.

Try to work carefully so as not to damage or crush the thinnest layers. Having turned the paper into an accordion, lightly press down all the folds and fix in the center with any of the attachment options described above.

Do not tighten the resulting fan, so as not to accidentally break it. Tie near the fastener thin thread if you later plan to hang the pompom. Round off the edges with scissors.

Now separate the top layer on both sides from the fastener and lift the paper vertically up.

Continue to lift towards the center layer by layer, slightly spreading the paper.

After fluffing up about half of the pom-pom, flip it down and continue to exfoliate the other half.

After that, you just have to spread the petals evenly and hang the pompom from the ceiling. Using small paper and lifting all the layers of paper to one side, you can make a one-sided pompom and use it as decoration when wrapping a holiday gift box.

Hello everyone! Another master class on the ShkolaLa blog! Today we will make such large paper balls, well, the very ones that are used as a festive design at various parties.

So, look what we got.

It all starts with preparation.

To make a pom pom we need:

• a roll of corrugated paper, it is also called crepe paper;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• ruler.

Standard size paper. Its width is 50 cm, and its length is 2.5 meters.

We take a roll and with the help of a ruler we determine where its middle is. We draw a line in this place with a pencil.

Without unwinding the roll, cut it into two equal parts with scissors. There was one long roll, and now it's two short ones.

Then the rolls still need to be unrolled and cut into identical rectangles. You can make rectangles measuring 25cm X 50cm, then 5 rectangles will come out of each roll. We made 25 X 40, and we got 6 pieces each.

The larger the rectangles, the more voluminous the pompom will be.

Then the rectangles need to be folded in a neat pile, on top of each other.

Since our paper was always trying to curl back into tubes, we pressed it with scissors on one side and a ruler on the other to take a picture. And, if you noticed, a ball of thread appeared in the photo! It should have been said about him at the very beginning, during the preparation process. But we remembered that it is needed only now and we declare it right away. Instead of threads, you can take beautiful ribbon. But we didn’t have it and we managed with threads.

Then we turn the stack of sheets of one of the short sides towards us and begin to fold the sheets into an accordion.

It should turn out something like this.

Using a ruler, we determine where our corrugated accordion has the middle and make a mark with a pencil.

We take a thread and tightly tie our accordion in the middle. One end of the thread should remain long.

Now let's start decorating the tips of our pom-pom. We will cut them a little, round them so that the pompom looks like a flower. The photo shows the trajectory along which we will cut.

Cut off one corner first.

Then another. Well, with one tip sorted out. We do the same with the other.

First, unfold one side in the form of a fan.

Very carefully, so as not to tear, grab the first layer of paper and lift it up.

Then the second.

Well, then the third, fourth, fifth and sixth, too. Already beautiful!

We turn our “fan” over to the other side and fluff the remaining six layers of paper. Only at the same time we try not to rumple those that have already been issued.

It turns out like this. Very similar to a bridal bouquet. If you make half a pom-pom out of white paper, and decorate the handle in green, then it will be one to one. But now we have a different task, we are not making a white bouquet, but a pink pompom. Therefore, according to the same principle, we fluff the other end of our accordion.

And we get this beauty! We tweaked it a bit with our hands so that the pom-pom took the shape of a ball. Then we decided to experiment and make another smaller pom-pom from the remains of yellow corrugated paper, which Tema found in a closet with all sorts of creative things. That's what we call it - a creative locker. We have paints there, plasticine, glue and colored paper too. Basically, it worked.

And now we know that it is possible to make a small pom-pom, but it is much more difficult than a big one. And in this yellow small ball, we didn’t get 12 layers of paper, as in a large one, but only 8, and that’s where the paper ended.

We hung these two pompoms on a chandelier in the children's room. And immediately somehow it became more fun there! Well, holidays are coming soon in our family. First it's my birthday, then our beloved grandmother's. And now we know exactly how to decorate the premises so that it is elegant and beautiful.

But if we had a lot more of this paper, then we would try to make the same beautiful flower as in the video below. Very beautiful! And the manufacturing principle is similar to pompoms.

Friends, you can leave your opinions about our master class in the comments. And we will be very grateful if you share the link to the article on social networks.

Thank you for your attention!

Happy creativity!

Always yours, Alexandra, Artem and Evgenia Klimkovich.

Paper is a versatile material for creativity, from which you can make many crafts. In addition, creating paper decor is good to do with children, which develops creativity and hidden talents in them. In this article, we will talk about how to make a decoration on the wall with your own hands, as well as about the execution technique and various variations.

There are a lot of original wall crafts - these are pompons, garlands, flowers and papers, fans, etc. To create a decor, you do not need special knowledge and skills, the main thing is to allocate a little time and patience for this.

Paper pom-poms (MK)

The decoration looks gentle and beautiful, besides it stands out against the general background. Pompoms can be different colors and sizes, which allows you to make them in the tone of the style of the room or holiday.

To create a paper decoration, you need to prepare:

• kraft or corrugated paper;
• threads;
• scissors.

You can make pom poms in the following way:

1. Several sheets of colored paper are stacked on top of each other and folded into an accordion. If you need a small ball, 4 layers are enough, for a medium one - 5-6, for a large ball - 8 or more layers of paper.

2. When everything is ready, the middle of the folded sheet is tied with thread or wire. To accurately guess the middle, you need to fold the accordion in half and bandage it at the bend. If this is not done, the ball may turn out to be skewed.

3. The edges of the accordion are trimmed with a triangle or a semicircle. Then the most difficult and patient work begins. Each sheet is individually unfolded carefully so as not to damage the paper. First you need to move to the center of the sheet, and then straighten the individual layers. For convenience, it is better to divide the layers in half - this is much easier than separating each sheet separately from the total mass.

paper garland

These decorations will adequately decorate any interior, adding a touch of lightness and sophistication to it. To change the room, it is enough to choose the right paper garland, which can not only act as a decorative element, but also become the subject of space zoning.

Before making a garland, you need to choose the shape on which the material used depends. It can be thin or thick paper. The first is suitable for creating fast and airy scenery. Products are light and weightless, create a feeling of spaciousness in the room. Thick paper is a reliable material, but heavier and more difficult to work with. It is worth considering the weight of finished products when mounting on the wall.

Newspapers, napkins, postcards, etc. can also serve as material. Everything is fastened, as a rule, with glue, a stapler or paper clips, depending on the shape and type of the garland.

Checkboxes

Rectangular elements are cut out, which are then bent in half and strung on a thread. Everything is fixed with glue or double-sided tape. To create a bright garland, it is better to use as many colors as possible. You also need to keep the same distance between the flags, for a more attractive and aesthetic appearance.

hearts

A great option for a romantic dinner or decorating a young girl's room. Blanks are cut out of paper and fastened to each other in 2 pieces. In this case, the upper heart is bent in half in the middle. The elements are fastened with a thread, mainly with the help of a sewing machine.

Circles and rings

A beautiful element created from cut out circles of different colors and sizes. Attached to a thread using glue and will become great decor any room. Another option is a garland-chain of paper links. are cut out paper strips 0.5-4 cm wide and up to 15 cm long. One ring passes through the other, then the strip is glued together with glue.

Used in the decoration of various items and clothing, pompons are most often made from threads, strips of fabric or tulle. Most simple technique involves collecting a large bundle of textiles and pulling it in the middle with a strong thread.

Do-it-yourself pompom from threads is almost ready. It remains to trim the edges with scissors to form a neat ball.

Using Forms

There is also a more complex technique that allows you to make a neat pom-pom of any size. As a form, you should take 2 circles of cardboard with cut out centers.

The size of the pom pom depends on the wall thickness of the mold. The bases are folded together and wrapped with thread. Then the forms are moved apart, the threads are tightly pulled together in the center and the workpiece is cut between the cardboard inserts. So the product is more accurate.

Pompom on a fork

A convenient basis for creating original small-sized balls is a fork. This decoration will be an excellent solution for scarves, baby booties and blouses. They are also used as an unusual decor for blankets and bedspreads.

To create a pom-pom, the thread must be wound around the teeth to the desired volume and pulled with a fastening thread between the central teeth of the fork. You get a kind of bow, the arcs of which can be cut both on the device and by removing the product from the fork.

paper decoration

Beautiful voluminous paper pompoms are most often used in holiday themed decor. Formed balls may differ in material, color, size, density and edge design. The lighter the material used, the better, the more airy and beautiful the decor will be.

The most commonly used corrugated pompoms are made of thin corrugated paper. This material is available in a wide range color palette, and has an original structure that makes pom-poms look like flowers.

For manufacturing, it is necessary to cut out 8-10 squares of the desired size from paper, folding them one on top of the other. The resulting stack is folded with an "accordion" and pulled in the middle with a fastening thread.

Then, scissors form the edges, rounding them or vice versa, forming an acute angle, and straighten the paper, forming a ball.

An even more affordable option are napkin pom-poms. The principle of operation is the same as in the case of using paper, only the squares are already formed, and the material itself is lighter and more pliable. The disadvantage of napkins is the excessive fragility of the material and a limited choice of colors.

Pompoms from bags

For outdoor use, decorations are made from weather-resistant material - plastic bags. Such products can serve as decoration or be used by cheerleading teams at various competitions.

Depending on the purpose, choose the type of packages that are best suited for the task.

So pompoms for cheerleading are best made from packages of "t-shirts", which will allow you to form comfortable handles on the product. And products from garbage bags will be more voluminous and strong.

When creating pompoms for a support group, a stack of bags is folded in half, collecting the handles into one bundle. The handles are fixed with tape, thus fixing the pompom itself.

As you can see, you can make an original decoration at a minimum cost. Material for creating an unusual decor can be found in every home. It can be plain or craft paper, napkins, fabric, tulle, rain, mock-ups and much more. And the principle itself is extremely simple.
