I've been looking for a tutorial to make these for some time now. There are several really good ones out there, but none of them had exactly what I wanted, so I decided to make my own.
The best part about these pom poms is that they have multiple uses: decorations for weddings, parties, baby showers, nurseries, etc., and TOYS. Babies love these. They're lightweight and easy to wave around. And if you follow my "extra" step (the one that nobody else's tutorial includes), they can be baby safe too!
Materials:
Tulle (you can find it at an excellent price here - be sure to order the 6" rolls, not the 54" bolts!)Piece of cardboard
A circular item that's approximately the size you want your pom pom to be
Sharp scissors
Dark pen
Two rubber bands
Pictures of the Process
Check out my web album here. I've put captions under each with the instructions. If you follow along with the photos in order, it will be easy as pie to make your own!
Inspiration
These are the blogs where I got most of the steps to create these! A couple of different methods - take a look to see if their explanation is better for you than mine. Thanks everyone!
