Pom-poms are fun.
I mean, try saying pom-poms multiple times when you are angry. I am sure you will burst out laughing. It’s exactly like saying bubbles 😀
A pom-pom is a decorative ball or a tuft, made with fibres. It is derived from the French word pompon, a small decorative ball made of fabric or feathers.
Flexible and versatile, it can be made out of wool, cotton, paper, plastic, thread, glitter and feathers, in a variety of sizes and with innumerable colour options. It is extensively used on top of hats, or you may have seen a variation of them in cheerleaders’ hands.
To make a pom-pom, you could use a cardboard sheet, a fork or a pom-pom maker.
The technique is the same – wind yarn around, tie the centre with another yarn tightly, cut the looped sides with a sharp scissor, take the pom-pom off, trim the excess and fluff it up.
It’s a great accessory for my project, and I think I could use them for home decor items as well. What else do you think you could use pom-poms for? Let me know ya!
