Pom Poms made from Fabric

I've been trying out different materials to make pom poms from. The ones in the photographs I made using thin torn strips of polyester lining. The material is light and shiny, reflective, giving the colour depth, it works well. Cotton strips are a little dull in comparison. Ones made from white fabric would make good snowball tree decorations for Christmas. pom pom tutorial

The window display in Accessorize caught my eye this morning, it was the pom poms! I thought the pom poms were there for display, like bunting, but they are scarves. They are £20 online from Accessorize but if you had the wool and the inclination you could make your own scarf/bunting by following the pom pom making tutorial here . Just remember to omit the face and wings!

A pom pom bumble bee, really easy to make. Children can make these. You don't need much skill just a little bit of application and patience to achieve a fluffy bug. Children are rarely disappointed with the results and feel they have achieved something, boys and girls. When I was at junior school I remember making pom pom creatures and selling them to other children in the playground, only pennies but I realised I had a skill that others appreciated.
