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
