Today’s Pom-Pom fun is from Cindy at Stampin’ Up!
This Tuesday’s Tricky Tip is dedicated to pom poms! They were big in the 60s—so it has been fun (for some of us!) to see them make a comeback in the crafting world. Let’s start with Baker’s Twine mini pom poms.
Just follow the easy steps pictured below.
If you would like to create a garland, just thread a needle with a length of Baker’s Twine and run it through the pom poms.

After I finished making the Baker’s Twine pom poms, I began to wonder what would happen if I wound 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon around a fork instead of Baker’s Twine. To my surprise, the result looked very much like a marigold!
Then I thought: How can I create a bigger pom pom flower? The old-fashioned way: using cardboard donut shapes made with super-thin white cardboard, a 2-1/2″ Circle Punch, a 1/2″ Circle Punch, and our Daffodil Delight 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon. When I finished winding, cutting, and tying, out popped a daffodil . . . just the thing for embellishing a Mother’s Day gift! (Believe me . . . I don’t usually get this lucky!)
I could have kept going with flower-making . . . but then I saw a paper pom pom garland on Pinterest. I HAD to try that, too. The result: today’s Tricky Tip features three ways to make small pom pom projects—using Baker’s Twine, 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon, and Designer Series Paper. They are all so easy and fun!

OMG! I was a cheer leader in the 60’s and we made pom pom’s out of crape paper. This sure brings back a lot of memories.
I was just teaching my daughter how to make Pom poms. When I was a kid my grandmother used to knit all the grandkids slippers and she would put pom poms on the girls. How fun!
I love the paper pom pom at the bottom, What a great idea. I will have to try this. Thanks for sharing!

I’m new to card making craft and I’ve subscribed to a few different people’s u-tube pages, I look forward to yours as there’s always a good variety of cards for different occasions, Recently I tried the simple banner style card where you cut doily’s in half to put under banner strips, very effective, thanks for the inspiration x
