Decorative Tissue Paper Ball

I've always wondered how to make these fluffy creations. They always looked super easy to master whenever I would see them on Martha Stewart or the Hostess Blog. Hope you guys enjoy this small tutorial I put together to show you how to add a cute flair to your next party! 

Make sure you have 8 sheets of tissue paper

Fold them long ways

Fold them like an accordian or fan 

It's going to look  like this. Don't fan yourself with it, it doesn't work.

Now you can either use twine or any type of string

Tie the middle pretty tight leaving a long strand for hanging

Trim the ends into a round shape

Spread out into a fan shape then start pulling each piece apart. You can fluff it so it will form a ball shape in the end

Like this! Enjoy your little fluff ball!

Geez, it's that time again. Junk drawer dumping.

Yup, the moment I dread most about spring cleaning. Time to pull the junk drawer out and dump everything into a box. It's amazing what you accumulate in a year, I must say I am not proud of the "junk" that was lurking beneath the twisty ties and half eaten m&ms. I'm not sure how a small box can ferment, but it did. Haha, I was like "what the!?" Yea, not cool. So I got rid of the whole junk drawer entirely and revamped it. Take a looksy!

Yellow wallpaper that I found at goodwill! Hooray! 
Finally, a new home for my dishtowels!
Now to revamp the kitchen table. I never iron my tablecloths but it made a huge difference! 
I love my cork placemats! They're so cheery and delightful. 
Spring is here! 
Now now, what to do with the junk that was in the drawer? Well of course you gotta recycle it somehow! I've decided to make a pen holder using my tea canister.
Wrap it in bright colored cardstock and slap a label on there and you're done! Easy peasy!
