I’m terrible at visualizing these kinds of things, so I did a crafty little experiment.  You can get tissue paper at the dollar store, so I decided to actually try out these guys out in Kate’s nursery to see how they would look.  No commitment. This little experiment only cost me $1.50 for the three tissue paper pom poms.  You can check out the tutorial for how to make tissue paper pom poms here.

My negative comments about tissue paper pom poms:

Without wall art picked out for around the crib these poofs kind of go BAM!  LOOK AT THOSE POM POMS!   I think these ones might be a little too big?  Or maybe they are just too low? This is the view of what Kate would see from the crib, which I think is really cool! Since I didn’t want to permanently damage the stucco ceiling for this experiment, I only used masking tape to hold them up.  Or rather, hold them in place while I took the pictures, because at least one of them fell down within 20 minutes, so I had to take them all down. After making them myself, feeling the texture and seeing how the light hits them, I’m developing a little bit of a crush on tissue paper pom poms!
