Pom Poms

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

So i've been looking at pinterest and seeing all these cute fabric pom poms which are obviously the in thing for wedding etc at the moment BUT i was thinking of doing some old school pom poms with the girls.

1. Can i use ribbon instead of wool?
2. What was your favorite pom pom creation - i made an alien pom pom once

So any hints/tips would be great, am going to start getting crafty with them again now the sun is coming out and we can head outside on the deck with a drop sheet

I just had a flashback to 1979.

Surely someone has something to say about pompous??!

You can do really good little pom poms with wool on a fork - saw on pinterest and tried the other day. Yes am sure you can use ribbon.

I made tissue paper pom poms for
Dd2's bday on the weekend.

Woollen pompoms i just use the good ol trick of two circles and wrapping wool around it

I made tissue ones too for a 1st birthday a few weeks ago. I don't see why you couldn't use chiffon style fabric instead of paper. I think ribbons would look cute, just make sure you fabric glue/nail polish the ends or you'll end up with a frayed pompom.

I've always wanted to make live flower/reed pom poms. Obviously temporary but not sure it would work. It might need to be something with tendrils like jasmine.

Bumping this thread because pompoms are such an awesome school holiday activity.
