How to Make a DIY Tissue Paper Flamingo
When I was playing around with making the DIY tissue paper flamingos, I really liked the idea of being able to hang them on the wall as flamingo party decor, so I only used the pouf opened to one side for the first one. Since there was a lot of potential party to decorate and I needed lots of ideas to fill it up, I also made a DIY paper flamingo with a full round tissue pouf.
The problem with full poufs is that they have to be hung from the ceiling in order to be used since they are a bit delicate. To make DIY paper flamingo stand, the pouf was placed on a dowel rod mounted in a base, kind of like a paper towel holder. The base costs about $2 to make. I use this base and dowel for all sorts of things. I even used it once for a viking ship!
Learn how to make a DIY tissue paper flamingo to decorate your luau party or flamingle party. Be sure to use nice FULL tissue poms for any creature projects. If your tissue poms are thin, open them to one side only and then glue or tie two poms together to get a fuller appearance.
