Supplies Needed:

• Colored paper or cardstock – I use double sided paper, but single sided is fine.
• Lollipop stick or bamboo food pick.
• Paper punch – For the scalloped Alli, I use a 1.75” scalloped circle punch.
• Glue – A glue stick or pen for the paper and a hot glue gun or double sided tape for attaching the pick.

 

 

 

Step 1

Punch out 10 circles per pom.

 

 

Step 2

Fold each circle in half. If your paper is single sided, fold so the colored sides are facing each other.

 

 

Step 3

Take 2 of the folded circles and glue the halves together. Continue until you have 5 circles glued together.

Repeat this separately with the other 5 circles.

 

 

Step 4

You should now have the 2 halves of your pom.

 

 

Step 5

Using your glue gun or double sided tape, affix the lollipop stick to the inside (back portion) of one half of the pom.

 

 

 Step 6

Glue your 2 halves together.

 

Place the DIY paper pom in a cake or cupcake and place on your dessert table! What a great and easy DIY cake or cupcake topper!
