How to make pompoms from yarn
In order to make a voluminous, fluffy, soft pompom that can be attached to a hat as a decoration, you will need synthetic, melange or wool yarn, as well as a sheet of thick cardboard and scissors.
First of all, you need to decide what diameter of pompom you plan to make, then you should cut out two circles of the required diameter from a sheet of thick cardboard, i.e. if the diameter of the planned pompom should be equal to fifteen centimeters, then the diameter of the two circles should also be equal to fifteen centimeters. In the center of two circles, you need to cut out circles with a diameter of about three centimeters and make an incision to make it more convenient to wind the yarn. You don’t have to make a cut, then you need to wind the threads using a needle.
Next, you need to place the two prepared circles on top of each other and then you can begin to tightly wrap the cardboard circles with threads. When all the rows are completed, use scissors to cut the yarn strands in the middle. Next, the thread, which is located between the circles of cardboard, must be tied into a knot. Then you need to remove the cardboard, adjust the length of all the threads, and the product is ready.
A pom-pom made of threads can be single-colored or multi-colored, it all depends on the chosen color of thread.
Making a fur pompom
In order to make a fur pompom, you will need: fur, stuffing, a needle and thread, as well as scissors and ribbon. First, you need to lay out the fur, then cut out a fur circle from it, and sew large stitches on the wrong side of the workpiece. Then you need to prepare a small amount of filler and tie it with tape. After this, the prepared filler must be placed in the middle of the fur circle, and the tape should be placed outside. Then you need to pull the circle tightly and tie a knot. The ribbon is needed to sew or tie the pompom.
How to make paper pompoms
In order to create a festive atmosphere or simply decorate the interior, you can make paper pompoms. Crepe or thin wrapping paper, thin wire or thread, and scissors are best suited for the job. First you need to cut the paper into sheets twenty centimeters wide and thirty centimeters long. To make each pompom you will need eight sheets of paper. Eight sheets of paper should be placed on top of each other, then the sheets should be folded like an accordion, so that the width of the fold is one and a half centimeters. After this, the workpiece must be bent in half, and the bend must be tied with wire or thread, then the edges of the workpiece must be cut off on both sides. Next, you need to carefully straighten all the layers of paper and the product is ready.
From packages
It’s easy and simple to make pompoms with your own hands from ordinary bags. To work you will need bags, scissors and tape.
First you need to prepare the bags, fold them in a stack, matching all sides. In order for the pompoms from the bags to turn out bright, it is necessary to alternate colors when placing the bags in a stack. After the bags are laid, all sharp corners should be cut off and the bags should be cut at the soldering points. Then the stack should be folded in half and cut in the middle using scissors. Then you need to make cuts on both sides, the main thing is that the strips are the same. Next, the stack needs to be bent in half again, then twisted and secured with tape, and you’re done.

How to make pompoms for cheerleading with your own hands? We look for answers to these questions in this article.
Historical facts
No one knows the exact reason for the origin of pom-poms. However, there is one humorous version. She says that during the development of American football, children and teenagers ran around the stadium with armfuls of hay. They waved it and shouted words of encouragement, thereby cheering and supporting the athletes. A little later, hay began to be replaced with more convenient attributes. Today, several methods have been invented for cheerleading. They are made of paper, polyethylene, foil, fabric and other materials. In this article we will look at two master classes that anyone who wants to make bright and fluffy pom-poms at home from improvised materials can follow.
We make attributes for sports dance from paper - method No. 1
Using the following technology, even a child can make pompoms, it is so simple. For work you need the materials indicated in the list:
- thin paper of the desired color (corrugated, tissue paper);
- fishing line or nylon thread;
- scissors.
In order to make pom-poms for cheerleading with your own hands, unfold a roll of paper and cut it into even square-shaped pieces. Before you do this, decide what diameter you want the product to be. And in accordance with this, complete the sides of the square. We put all the blanks in a pile. The more layers of paper there are, the more voluminous the product will be. We fold the stack like an accordion, creating narrow folds. We measure the resulting part and mark its middle. We tie this place with fishing line or trim the edges of the product. Their shape can be very diverse: sharp, round, wavy, zigzag. Next, straighten the pompom and shake it. Attach a loop of thread to the center of the product. That's all, the lush ball for sports dancing is ready.
Method number 2
Do-it-yourself pom-poms for cheerleading can be made from paper in another way. Let's consider another option for making a similar item. For work you will need: paper, scissors and narrow tape.
We unfold the roll of paper and mark stripes on it. Their width should be the same as you want to make the “petals” of the pompom. As a rule, this figure fluctuates between 4-5 centimeters. Next, we stack all the strips on top of each other. Then we bend the entire bundle in half and wrap it with tape at the base. The place where the winding is located forms a handle-holder. All that remains is to shake the pompom and take it to the stadium.
How to make pom-poms for cheerleading with your own hands from bags: master class
The following description tells how to make beautiful rustling attributes for a support group from the most ordinary cellophane bags. We will find out what is needed for the creative process from the list of materials:
We lay out the bags one by one in stacks of 15-20 pieces. Next, we cut off their top edge (with handles) and bottom (bottoms of the handbags). Let's start making the "petals". To do this, cut the entire stack into strips, not reaching the bottom edge of about 10 centimeters. In this way we arrange all the stacks of bags. Next, we place them one on top of the other, gather the bottom edge and wrap it with tape, forming a handle. We straighten all the petals. The product is ready.
