Make pompoms out of napkins!
For this you need 5 napkins, a pair of scissors and a thin band:
- Unfold each napkin!
- Then fold the napkin like an accordion!
- After that put all 5 folded napkins on top of each other!
- Cut all napkins in the middle a few mm from both sides, but DO NOT cut them!
- Take the ribbon and tie a knot around the cut center! But please choose the strap best, as it is the suspension for the pompom!
- Cut the two ends round so that the pompon has a nice shape!
- Take the first napkin and pull apart the individual layers carefully!
- So … until all layers are separated!
- The pompon looks fluffy, right?
- The pompom is already done!
Now you just have to hang it up! Have fun!
Make pompoms out of tissue paper!
Tissue paper pom-poms are feather-light and can be attached at heights. The more leaves you use, the rounder and fuller the pompon will be after unfolding! You need the following materials: Tissue paper (at least 8 leaves) in the desired color; a pair of scissors, ruler and wire:
- Lay the paper so that the narrow side is in front of you!
- Then fold, fold and fold: in order to fold the perfect accordion, the paper is turned over again and again on the other side!
- Fold each sheet of paper in this way!
- Then put the two ends together so that the middle is marked!
- Carefully cut a few millimeters at the midline!
- The wire is wound exactly at these cuts! Turn about 3 barks and then knot the wire tightly together!
- Then you can trim the ends as you like!
- The unfolding of the layers of paper is the last step here! Lift the single paper layer in the middle and at the corners and pull it apart!
- Repeat these steps for every paper layer!
- Find a little place for your new ones and hang them up!
Make woolen pompoms!
To make these pompoms, you need a piece of wool, a piece of cardboard, scissors and compasses:
- Use the compass to draw a circle the size of the desired pompom on the piece of cardboard and in this circle draw another, but smaller one!
- Cut out the shape to create a ring. Use the ring as a template for another cardboard ring, so you end up with two identical cardboard rings!
- Divorce a little bit!
- Lay the two cardboard rings on top of each other and gradually wrap them evenly with wool!
- The smaller the opening in the middle of the rings at the end, the fluffier the pompom will be!
- Cut the wool on the long side between the cardboard rings!
- Finally, pull a wool thread between the two cardboard rings and knot it! Make sure the thread is tight enough. Only then does the pompon end up with the necessary stability!
- Remove the cardboard rings!
- Protruding threads are cut off with the nail scissors!
- And the pompon is done!
