Fold the bottom long side up 4 inches. Fold the left short side toward the right 4 inches. Then fold the bottom long side back 4 inches in accordion style. Continue folding the bottom up and backward, accordion style, until all the tissue paper is folded. - 3). Turn the tissue paper vertically so the short side that was folded is at the top. Cut 1-inch vertical strips all along the tissue paper, leaving the top 4-inch fold intact.
- 4). Turn the cut tissue paper horizontally. Roll up the intact 4-inch side tightly to create a handle. Wrap it with tape to secure.
- 5). Repeat all the steps to form the second pompom.
