We both agree that the look of a fabric pom-pom (like the one I made here) is to-die-for. But guess what. ONE fabric pom-pom uses almost A YARD OF FABRIC to make! Crazy. I experimented with smaller, hand-sewn pom-poms that used less fabric, but when one sister-in-law said they resembled “used tissues” I got a bit flustered with fabric, and moved on to my old friend, paper.
I folded the circles in half, and half again. I then opened the folded circles so that the creases were visible. I squished all four sides, so that the circle resembled a square, and then pressed two opposing sides together. (What?! Photos below… )
But I am bringing all of my fabric attempts, and the dainty needle-felted heart garland I also made (seen here above the paper pom-poms) but ultimately, it’s up to my niece… keep ya posted on what she likes best! (And PS- If she doesn’t love the paper pom-poms, they will be strung above my couch on a permanent basis! I’m love how her colors match my circa 2001 Ikea blanket!
OOOH I love those radest megan!
YES! The paper garland is super neat!
These are awesome. I love the pom pom garland look. I also really like how you are not afraid to reveal your trials and tribulations with certain crafts. It makes us feel like we are all human and unafraid to attempt crafting too! Thanks!
