Tools Needed for Pom-Poms: Colored tissue paper, floral wire, and satin ribbon
Step#1: Cut four sheets of tissue paper into five- by 10-inch rectangles. Make 3/8-inch accordion folds.

Step#2: Fold a 18-inch floral wire in half and wrap around the middle of the folded tissue paper and twist.

Step#3: Trim ends into a rounded or pointed shape.

Step#4: Carefully separate the layers of the tissue papers, pulling each layer toward the center.

Step#5: Use the extra wire to make a loop on the back of the pom-pom. Insert a 12-inch piece of ribbon through the loop.

Step#6: Tie ribbon around the napkin. Voila: a fabulous flower-like napkin ring to dress up any table!

Step 1: Fold your fabric and use the spool of thread to trace a circle. Then cut the circles out.

Step 2: Take one circle and fold it in half.

Step 3: Take the half circle and fold it in half again.

Step 4: Then take your circle and stitch through the bottom. Continue this step, adding at least 6 circles on top of the first.

Step 5: Once you have sewn all 6 circles, connect the petals together by stitching through each one at the corners and then tying off the tread with a double knot.

Step 6: Next, cut 3 yards of thread and add on the flowers one by one.
