Let’s skip the part where I talk about my pom-pom obsession, and get right down to the making of these amazing little things. If you can make a pom-pom, you can make these! They are so easy, and very Anthropologie-esque.
Start with making a pom-pom. There are many ways to do this. I used pom-pom makers, but you could use your fingers, too (here is a good tutorial from Creature Comforts). Trim the pom-pom but leave the strings long. Next, take any old small hair tie and tie the pom-pom on with the strings. Tie two or three pom-poms on for the full effect, or use just one big one!
This project was recently featured in MoPa (stands for modern parent), a blog and online magazine for the holidays that is just lovely and full of great ideas. Check it out for more photos and the full instructions!
