Tissue Paper Flowers

With a little down time on Friday, what can ya do?

Answer: Make tissue paper pom-poms. We kind of had a mini craft workshop. Martha Stewart taught me how to make tissue paper pom-poms, and I passed it along to my co-worker, Stephanie. The idea started from the tissue paper flowers I made as office decor for my cube. The gray drab walls at work totally needed some color and a dash of girly-girl.  So with some extra time on our hands, we whipped out the tissue paper and started folding, cutting and creating pretty flowers. Why not add more color to our already colorful office area? We have colorful banners, infographic posters and Krabby Patties on the walls. :) 

I made two flowers, then decided that I wanted to make it into a pom-pom. So I just tied the "stems" of the flower together, cut off the excess and strung it to the ceiling. And now my office looks like this: 

I like to keep my cube vibrant and fun. I even had that map custom made to fit my teal and pink office theme.

By the way, the Spongebob and Mr. Potatohead were gifts that I couldn't pass up as decor. I'm sure it looks like a play area or a bit childish, but I'm not complaining :)

If you have an office, how did you decorate it?
