1. A sheet of paper of the required width is stacked. The height of the stack is adjustable, depending on the desired pompom.
2. We connect the resulting accordion with a strong thread right in the middle.
3. Cut the edges of the accordion. You can do this in different ways, depending on the desired effect. So, the edges can be rounded, sharp or reminiscent of the edges of the pompoms from the filaments. In this case, we simply cut them, forming a likeness of a trapezoid.
4. The last stage of manufacturing pompoms is to open the accordion. Raspushiv it, as we need it, we get a simple, but spectacular decoration.

Pompons of paper can simply be put on furniture, and you can attach to the ceiling, so that it soars in the air. To do this, you will need a fishing line or tape, if you want the mount to be visible. Fixing the tape or fishing line to the pompon on one side, the other we attach to special hooks on Velcro that leave no traces. The latter can be purchased at any store of household or construction trifles.
