Step by Step Guide in Making Pomanders :

Cut each tissue into 5 x 7 inches rectangular.

Stack 3 sheets of tissue paper and accordion fold them all the way up.

Fold the wire over the middle and twist. 

Cut the corners of the tissue paper into round.  I left an extra ½ inch of wire because that’s what you have to attach in the Styrofoam ball.

Start pulling the tissue sheets up one at a time.  You’ll have to pull it left and right and continue until all the tissue’s pulled up.

Now you have a tissue flower.

Stick the wire under the flower in the ball.  Continue placing tissue flowers until the ball is 

My first pomanders... Not that good-looking, but as they, PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

Tips :

You can try two colors in one pomander.  I tried green and yellow.   Or you can try more than two colors, if you want.  You can also try a different size of Styrofoam ball if you like a small or big pomander.

With this same process, you can also make tissue wreaths.  Materials are always available at any craft store.
