DIY Hair Pom Pom

From headbands to bows, I really love little knickknacks that you can put in your hair. (And I’ve always loved the whimsical creations of the ladies over at Ban.do. :)) I’ve never made a pom pom out of anything but yarn, so I wanted to give it a shot and makes some hair pom poms!

To make the pom poms, you need a little pom pom maker. You can also make a pom pom from a fork, but I really like using the little pom pom tools. I think it makes a much more uniform pom pom. 🙂

Instead of yarn, I used little strips of fabric to make a different kind of pom pom. I think it makes the pom pom look a bit more sophisticated instead of a 1970s craft project. 🙂 (If pom poms can ever be considered sophisticated. Ha.)

With a pom pom maker you can just wrap the fabric around the tool and then snip all the way around. Then you wrap another strip of fabric around all the snipped pieces of fabric and tie them together. (The tool makes this SUPER easy and fun.) Before you snip the ends of the fabric you used to tie everything together, tie a bobby pin to the pom pom. Then snip the longer fabric pieces you used to tie everything together so that they’re even with the rest of the snippets.

And that’s it! 🙂 Here’s to a weekend full of crafts, cocktails, and good friends.
