For all of you ladies who diy'd pomanders....

How much tissue paper do you think you used for each one? 

Where did you get your supplies???

I've been looking online for tissue paper but most places make you buy a ton of it..

I bought my orange paper from Meijer. It was 1 pack/flower, but they were small packs (like 6 sheets?). And I bought the white paper in the huge dollar store pack.
I got the wire from Hobby Lobby & styrofoam balls from Dollar Tree.

Mink I give you credit. I started one of these and got about half way through and gave up. Too much time and work for me lol. I bought a ton of paper off of another knottie that now I have to find a use for (maybe OOT boxes, we'll see).

I did get the wire and styrofoam balls from Hobby Lobby though.

I am making the tissue paper poms!  Save yourself the work and go to paradepomps.com and order stacks of cut tissue paper through there.  I ordered 5 packages of cream (french vanilla) colored tissue paper that was precut 5x5 squares.  Not expensive at all.  Then I got a big roll of floral wire at the craft store and buy 6" balls whenever I have a 50% or 40% off coupon.  

Cutting the tissue paper seemed like the worst step when I did a trial run for this project, so when I found the square tissue paper I was more than happy to take this project on.

I am in the process of making them now, and they are a pain in the @$$.  I bought 3 packages of white, 2 light purple, 1 dark purple, and 1 black.  I think there were 30 sheets per pack?  I am just opening my 2nd pack of white and have hardly used any of the other colors.  I think I will have a lot left over.  I bought mine at Dealers Discount Crafts & Florals in Centerline.  Good luck and have patience!!

morticia just google tissue paper pompanders diy and there should be tutorials.  Vintage glam blog (I think its changed its name since then) has a good tutorial, but wedding bee also has them as well.
