Jozel’s volleyball games were every Saturday for a couple of months, and our family were there cheering on her team, with our pom pom’s, of course!

The Strikers volleyball team colors were black, blue, and white, so, to show our team spirit for her team, we made this DIY Cheerleading pom pom shown below.

Ready to make your DIY Cheerleading Pom Pom’s? It’s super easy, I promise! And, It cost me only $5.00 to make these! Outstanding, right!?

Choose your team colors, and LET’S GO!

SUPPLIES

6 Large pieces of Blue Tissue Paper
6 Large pieces of Black Tissue Paper
6 Large pieces of White Tissue Paper
1 36 inch piece of Blue Yarn
1 Glow in the Dark Bracelet
Scissors
Hot Glue Gun
Glue Sticks

STEPS 1-4 POM POM’S

STEP 1: Gather your supplies needed for the pom pom’s. For the Strikers Team. We’re using blue, black, and white tissue paper for this tutorial.

STEP 2: Layer the multiple colors of tissue paper on top of each other as shown in #2 above. Each color will have two sheets of tissue paper.

For example, the layers above have 2 blues, 2 whites, 2 blacks, again 2 blues, 2 whites, 2 blacks and so on.

It’s up to you how many layers you want. The more layers you have, the more fullness you’ll have.

STEP 3: Now, fold the tissue paper in half.

STEP 4: String the yarn in between the folded tissue paper. The yarn is going to be used as a guide for step #7 below.

STEPS 5-8 POM POM’S

STEP 5: Cut your desired width of strips, then grip the bottom edge of the layered tissue paper with your fingers, then cut your strips, leaving at least one inch uncut from the folded edge.

STEP 6: Continue cutting strips from one end to the other.

STEP 7: Carefully, unfold the tissue paper.

At one end, start opening up the tissue paper by separating the strips. The string will help guide you to the center. Simply grab each end of the yarn and slowly separate the strips to unfold.

Now, gather and fold all of the layers from one end to the other, kind of like rolling a pig in a blanket. Ha!

STEP 8: Tie yarn around the gathered up tissue paper and tie several knots to keep it secure.

STEPS 9-11 Pom Pom’s

STEP 9: Assemble the handle. Place one Glow Stick underneath the knotted yarn.

STEP 10: Place a small amount of hot glue on one end of the glow stick and place one side of the glow stick fitting onto the glued tip. Repeat on the opposite end.

Your glow stick bracelet is now a pom pom handle!

STEP 11: Fluff up your Pom Pom’s and shake to active the glow in the dark handles.

To fluff the pom pom’s, start separating and scrunching the strips in small sections. The more you scrunch and squeeze the strips, the more fullness you’ll have.

That’s it, you’re done!

I’m going to have more pom pom projects in the near future, so, keep a lookout!

How to make pompoms with your own hands - step by step master classes

Pompoms. These fluffy things make you want to touch your hand. They are an interior decoration, an accessory for cheerleading, a piece of clothing or an object for creativity. They are made from various materials:

Thread;
Papers;
Polyethylene;
Strips of fabric;
Foamiran;
Braid;
Cord;
Real or artificial fur;
Lace;
Tulle.

Making your own pom poms is quick and easy. And also - fun. Children can do this together with adults.

Yarn pom-poms

They are often used to decorate knitwear (hats, scarves, mittens). They can be used for crafts with children. They make cozy rugs, blankets, bedding for chairs.

There are four ways to make it:

On a round base;
With plug;
On the arm;
Fast way.

Making buboes using the two-donut template

Step-by-step instructions:

Two rigid blanks are wrapped together with yarn. The more layers of strands on the templates, the more magnificent the bubo will turn out.
The thread must be cut along the outer edge.
Between the layers of the workpiece, stretch a piece of thread and tightly tie the resulting pieces of yarn.
Carefully remove the template.
Fluff the "ball", trim it with scissors.

How to make a pom-pom on a fork

It can be an ordinary table fork, or a horseshoe-shaped cardboard blank.

Wind the yarn around the tines of the fork.
Pull across the middle, tie tightly.
Remove from plug.
Cut the formed loops.
Fluff the product.
Trim with scissors.

How to make a small bubo

Fluffy pompoms of the smallest size can be obtained if the thread is wound not on four, but on two prongs of the fork.

On cardboard rectangle

This method is easy to implement. With the help of such cardboard rectangles, it is easy to make even, lush buboes of different sizes.

How to make a large, fluffy bubo

A large bubo can be made using household tools. For example: two plastic bottles or cardboard tubes.

How to make a pom-pom on your hand

By winding a strip of yarn around your hand, you can quickly create this fluffy miracle without any additional tools.

Wrap the thread around four or two fingers in the palm of your hand.
Bandage the winding in the middle.
Remove workpiece from hand.
Cut the loops.
Fluff and trim.

Quick way to make pom poms

Sometimes you need to make a lot of buboes. For example, in order to make a rug or a cape on a chair out of them.

To quickly make a pompom, it is best to use this method:

Turn a stool or coffee table upside down.
Having tied the thread to one of them, wind it between two supports, trying to place it horizontally and pull it evenly.
Using a tape measure, divide the entire strip into sections.
Tie the wound threads across, tying them tightly in the marked places.
Remove the yarn from the support and cut between the ties.
Fluff "balls".
Trim with scissors.

When making pom-poms, it is important to follow a few rules.

Wavy yarn must be moistened after unraveling, then dried in a straightened state.
Wind as much thread around the template or fork as possible to keep the bubo dense and fluffy.
Make sure that each element is securely tied across at the time of manufacture. You need to fasten with several knots. Use strong thread for this.

Tutorial: Flower Buboes

These soft, fluffy flower balls look unusual and are a little more difficult to make than simple solid colors.

You can use leftover thread in bright colors. You will also need cardboard blanks shaped like horseshoes (4 pieces) and four metal stationery clips.

It is necessary to visually divide the ornament into two parts from the center to the edges and in layers, successively wind yarn of different colors onto the templates.
First - the middle of the yellow.
After - a wide layer of pink.
Then a thin layer of green.
White locks cover everything
Now we take the second pair of horseshoes and make another exactly the same blank.
Using stationery clips, we connect them to each other.
Next, cut the yarn along the outer edge of the template.
Tie the bubo crosswise with a fixing thread.
Carefully remove the cardboard.
Fluff, trim.

Based on the techniques shown in this master class, you can make buboes in the form of other flowers, as well as fruits, vegetables, berries.

Fur pompom

Natural or artificial fur can be used to decorate a hat - a fluffy bubo.

Materials and tools:

small piece of fur,
scissors,
some synthetic filling,
hand needle,
strong thread (preferably lavsan or kapron).

Production:

Cut out a circle from the fur.
Sew straight stitches around the edge of the workpiece.
Slightly pull off the future bubo, put the filler inside.
Tighten the hole to the end, sew it up.
Fur pompom is ready.

Cheerleading Pompoms

Cheerleading is a dance show that accompanies sports competitions. It is organized by dedicated fans in support of their favorite team. These are incendiary dances of slender girls, in whose hands they have an invariable accessory: bright rustling pompoms.

You can make them yourself. The material for this, as a rule, is polyethylene or corrugated paper. In addition, you will need:

Sharp scissors,
Clear tape or duct tape,
Plastic or wooden stick for handle.

Manufacturing process:

Remove sharp corners from bags, cut off handles and seams.
Bend the resulting stack of polyethylene blanks in half, cut in the middle (thus, the number of layers will double).
On both sides, cut polyethylene into narrow strips, not reaching the middle. The thinner each strip will be. The more magnificent the decoration will be.
Carefully fold everything in half, twist around the stick, secure with tape.
It is better to wrap the handle with electrical tape to prevent it from slipping in your hands during the performance.

Corrugated paper cheerleading pom-poms are made in the same way.

Large party pompoms

Large pompoms to decorate, for example, a children's party, are most easily made from corrugated paper or tulle. These materials come in all sorts of colors and shades: bright, neon and calm nude.

Tulle pom pom

These tulle elements are easy to make using the same techniques as for yarn. A large pompom is made using a larger cardboard template, and the tulle itself should be wider.

Paper pompom

Ordinary table napkins are suitable for paper “fluffies”, and it is most convenient to make large paper balls from corrugated paper (this is usually sold in stationery stores).

Step-by-step instructions for making napkin pom-poms:

Unfold five three-layer napkins and stack one on top of the other. They can be one color or several. In the second case, the "balls" will turn out to be colorful.
We need to fold these napkins all together like an accordion. Fasten in the middle with a strong thread, decorative braid or wire.
Trim off the resulting multi-layer strip. Having decorated the edges as desired with a corner or rounding them.
Carefully separate the paper layers from each other and etch each, shake, holding the middle, to fluff the product and give it a round shape.
"Fluffy" is ready. Now it can be hung on a braid or fishing line, fixed to a horizontal support, used as an element of table setting, decorate a carnival costume.
