Tissue Paper Balls

This morning my Visiting teaching partner texted and asked me to come over to her house for a while. One of the ladies that we visit teach was there as well with her two girls. My partner Allicia needed help making decorations and party favors for her daughters birthday party. One of the decorations that she was making was tissue paper balls. I guess she had seen them on Martha Stewart.com and wanted to try making them. She had white tissue paper to use. We took 15 sheets of tissue paper, folded it like a fan and tied it in the middle. Then we fanned the paper out until you had a full ball. Then we painted the edges pink and purple. They turned out pretty cute. I decided that I would try one at home with some left over tissue paper that I had. This is the result of mine. Not so great as my white tissue paper was different sized than the pinks and polka dot paper. Oh well it's cute enough. I think I will hang it up in Christy's room, she thinks it's pretty nifty :)
