 From:  Joyous bursts of color dance above a table, imparting a cheerful radiance to a rehearsal dinner or casual reception. The dahlialike pom-poms appear to float in the air; in reality they are hung from the ceiling with monofilament. Echoing the vibrant hanging puffs, pom-pom napkin rings in citrus shades adorn each place setting. Square glass vessels in various sizes line tables. Covered in sunset-hued tissue (cut to size and secured with double-sided tape), they cast a soft glow. How to Make the Pom-Poms Hanging Pom-Poms 2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes. 3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time. 4. Tie a length of monofilament to floral wire for hanging. Napkin Rings 1. Stack four sheets of tissue. Cut a 10-by-5-inch rectangle, going through all layers. Make 3/8-inch-wide accordion folds. 2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, slip over center of tissue, and twist to secure. Trim ends of tissue. 3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time. 4.

I tried exactly how it was stated and got a weird looking mess. When I changed to six 5x5-inch sheets, it came out looking exactly like the picture. Hope this helps! 2.4/02/09 at 10:10 a.m. ETWe are using ALL of these ideas at our wedding only instead of using glass vessels we are making them out of Vellum, and subbing real candles for battery operated candles.
