    Wedding decor made from paper is very popular today.

Such decor is always pleasing to the eye, and it is also very easy to make, as you can see by studying our master classes.

    2. Staple the edges of the strip together.

    3. Bend the workpiece as shown in the picture, apply a little glue to the middle and glue a wooden stick into one of the folds to secure the shape. Adjust the length of the stick to the diameter. If the paper is rigid and holds its shape on its own, you can do without sticks.

    4. Fasten the buttons in the middle (on both sides) and connect them with a string.

    The spinner is ready!

    So that the pinwheels can be hung vertically or tied into a garland, make holes in the edge with a hole punch and thread a rope through them. The turntables can also be connected to each other wooden chopsticks using glue - you get a rigid panel.

    Decorating a wedding with handmade accessories and decorative elements helps create a special atmosphere at the celebration. One of the most available ways Make your wedding decoration unique by using paper or fabric pompoms.

    This is not only a way to save money and not damage the budget of a young family, but also an opportunity to show imagination and express your feelings.

    DIY wedding decoration with paper pompoms

    Pompoms – a budget option, allowing you to make the holiday bright, stylish, original. To produce elements of such decor, you do not need to spend significant amounts of money or make great efforts. The bride and groom can make this decoration on their own, and if desired, ask friends for help.

    Enough to stock up:

    • colored corrugated or crepe paper;
    • scissors;
    • wire;
    • narrow satin ribbons.

    The manufacturing process is quite simple, but requires care and attention. All operations are performed in a certain sequence.

    Before you start decorating the hall or assembling garlands, you need to make as many blanks of different sizes as possible from paper of different colors.

    When choosing paper colors for pompoms, it is important to remember that they must match the overall style of the wedding: for example, if, then the color of the pompoms can be diluted with white.

    Before starting work, you must:


    1. Give sheets of paper of the selected color right size. To do this, some of them are left in A4 format, while others are cut so as to obtain balls of a smaller diameter.
    2. Several sheets of the same size are folded like an accordion.
    3. Having identified and marked the middle of each workpiece, fasten it with metal wire.
    4. To give each pom-pom a special shape, the edges of the “accordion” are cut, rounding them or, on the contrary, making them pointed.

    We can proceed to the most important thing. All the “petals” of the future pompom must be carefully and accurately straightened. First, half of the accordion is pulled apart like a fan.

    Then carefully separate each layer of paper from one another. If everything is done correctly, you will get a figure that resembles a rattle. This is a hemisphere on a kind of leg. The other half of the accordion is straightened in the same way.

    This way the workpiece will turn into a real fluffy ball.


    The size of the pompom depends on the size of the sheet of corrugated paper used. The largest can be made using the full width of the roll, while the smallest are the size chosen by the artist.

    The peculiarity of making large pompoms is that one fluffy ball takes almost 2 fleeces of paper.


    A large pompom can be made from a small amount of paper, but to make small paper balls you need two or even three times as much paper. This should be taken into account when starting work on creating blanks.

    Creating a ball correct form requires preliminary preparation of sheets in the shape of a square, the length of the side of which corresponds to the diameter of the pompom. When making an accordion, you need to keep in mind that the size of the petal depends on the step size. And one more important point: by pulling the middle of the accordion strip with wire or tape, you cannot damage the integrity of the paper.

    To create real masterpieces, folding sheets for a future accordion, use paper of different colors.

    How to make fabric pompoms: step-by-step instructions

    Decorating a wedding with pompoms is an opportunity to show your imagination when creating decorative elements using not only paper. Beautiful balls are made from threads or fabrics. To make these pompoms you will need:

    • thick cardboard;
    • a pattern (plate or saucer) to draw an even circle;
    • scissors;
    • satin ribbons no more than 0.5 cm wide;
    • tulle, organza or other lightweight fabrics.

    Before you start working with the fabric, you need to cut out circles from cardboard, the diameter of which corresponds to the size of the future pom-poms. The number of these circles is twice the number of pompoms.

    Use a plate or saucer as a pattern so that the pompoms are of different sizes.


    A hole is cut in the middle of each circle. It is important to remember that the larger its diameter, the more magnificent the pompom will be, but the smaller its size will be.

    Ready-made cardboard “donuts” are folded in twos, placing between them satin ribbon. Now you can start working with the fabric. It is cut into strips and carefully wrapped around a cardboard base until the fabric can no longer pass through the narrow hole in the middle of the workpiece. Using scissors, carefully cut the fabric by inserting the tip between two rings of cardboard.


    The middle is tightened with tape and the base is removed. A tulle pompom turns into a bright one before your eyes fluffy ball. For creating unusual models take fabric of the same texture, but several well-combined colors.


    Ready-made fabric pompoms are used to decorate columns and backs of chairs, walls, arches, and for young people, the presidium (). Fabric pompoms can be made from silk or satin, but these are heavy fabrics, and products made from them look very attractive only if they have a small diameter.

    1. Several sheets of colored paper are placed on top of each other and folded into an accordion. If you need a small ball, 4 layers are enough, for a medium ball – 5-6, for a large ball – 8 or more layers of paper.

    2. When everything is ready, the middle of the folded sheet is tied with thread or wire. To accurately guess the middle, you need to fold the accordion in half and tie it at the bend. If this is not done, the ball may end up skewed.

    3. The edges of the accordion are cut into a triangle or semicircle. Next begins the most difficult and patient work. Each sheet is carefully straightened individually so as not to damage the paper. First you need to move to the center of the sheet, and then straighten the individual layers. For convenience, it is better to divide the layers in half - this is much easier than separating each sheet separately from the total mass.

    4. After the work is done, we proceed to straightening and stretching each sheet, thus giving the ball the desired shape. The resulting pompoms will become a bright decoration of the wall, table and other surfaces.
