This carnation flower is super simple, my Mom taught me this when I was a little girl, and you can bet these flowers were made for party decorations all the time in our house! 

Start with a folded piece of crepe paper, it can be as long as you like because you can cut the excess of later and keep using the same roll.

Freehand cut a scallop edge.

Gather your crepe paper on the straight edged side pinching tightly. 

Keep pinching and gathering around until you have a nice size pom pom.

pinch the back real tight and glue some leaves to the back.
