In this simple but cheerful project, you’ll learn to make large decorative tissue paper pompoms by going to a great recent database we have called Creativebug. We provide all the necessary supplies including a transcription of the instructions. Paper pompoms bring a colorful and textured floral touch to any celebration, especially weddings and parties or just hang them in your house or patio to remind you spring is coming!

Go to mattapoisettlibrary.org, click on econtent, and then choose creativebug. Create an account with your Mattapoisett Library barcode. You can then access the instructions by searching for “tissue paper pompoms” or going to https://www.creativebug.com/classseries/single/make-tissue-paper-pompoms.

Instructor Courtney demonstrates how to create a gorgeous, oversized pompom from tissue paper, and also gives ideas for customizing color, shape and size. Kits are available starting April 1 until they are gone.  Then check out all the other great crafts available on the site!
