METHOD

Cut two (or more) identical strips of your silk chiffon. Width and length of the strips will determine the size of your pom pom.

Use a running stitch to loosely sew through the length of the strip, either by hand or with a sewing machine, leaving a good amount of loose thread on both ends

Pull the thread and ruffle the strip from both sides. Repeat on other strips.

Tie the centre of one ruffled strip using the ribbon, again, leaving some loose amount on both ends: you’ll need them to hang your pom pom once it’s finished

Place the second ruffled strip on top. Align the centres, but rotate the second one to form a cross.

Trim the edges of your pom pom with the scissors and finally ruffle it gently with your fingers, to make it look all fluffy.

Here’s your finished pom pom! Use the loose ends of the ribbon to hang it or tie it as a decoration or even wear it as a cute headpiece. For larger pom poms, we recommend adding more strips to achieve a fuller look.
