This project was for the in store displays as well as the storefront window. We used various materials such as cellophane, different colored tissue paper, wax paper, toilet seat covers, trash bags, and anything else white or off white that could be bought in bulk. We accordion folded multiple sheets of paper at a time and then die cut the ends of them. We did all kinds of variations of die cutting. I think this is a method that was used a vary long time ago to make wedding decorations. The die cut accordion poofs were hooked together using wire and glue. Some where attached to chicken wire to make larger poofs. The pieces of folded paper were then seperated, or "poofed" to make snow balls. We made so many poofs. Big poofs and baby poofs. It felt like I poofed for years and years. They were still poofing on my last day. They are probably still poofing right now.
They do look fun. I especially like what they do with light behind them. Very sculptural.
