We had so much fun and I attempted quite a few DIY projects so I thought I would share the results. I made tissue paper pom poms in various sizes and shades of purple. I absolutely LOVED the results and would definitely make these again. They were so easy and really added a fun element to the party. The glitter "Baby Girl" garland you may spy in the...READ MORE
