Pom Pom Party Favor Bags

This is an easy and inexpensive way to bag party favors. 

Materials:

Scissors 

White paper bags

Stapler

Double-sided Tape

Tissue Paper

First, I'll show you how to make a pom pom. You can do a lot with pom poms and they can be made in all different sizes. 

Layer 5 to 6 pieces of tissue paper one on top of the other (I used 6) and cut a 7"x10" rectangle (you are free to make it smaller or larger). Fold the tissue paper back and forth on itself, as if you were making a paper fan. 

Below is what it will look like after you've done the folds. 

Next, pinch the center of the tissue paper and staple it. If needed, you may fold the tissue paper in half to determine the center. 

Staple at the center

Cut, the two ends of the tissue paper into a petal shape. You can do different shapes if you'd like, I wanted to make them look more like flowers.

Finally, separate (open) the sheets of tissue paper on both sides. 

You can see the final result below. I made several of these pom poms...

Onto making the favor bags: place your favors inside the white paper bags and fold the top of the paper on itself two or three times and tape closed with the double-sided tape. Attach the pom pom onto the tape. I used two pieces of tape to make sure the pom pom stays in place at the center of the paper bag.
