Paper pompoms will perfectly decorate the venue of an event, such as a wedding, birthday, or theme party. This decorative element does not require any special financial costs or incredible skills.
How to make paper pompoms - method 1
To create a floating pompom from paper you will need:
- thin colored paper;
- wire;
- pliers;
- scissors;
- satin ribbon.
To create a paper pompom, you can use colored papyrus paper, napkins, corrugated paper, etc. The photo below shows step-by-step instructions for creating a pompom from papyrus paper. Let's start creating a paper pompom:
- On the table, we stack the paper in ten layers. The size and fluffiness of the future pompom will depend on the selected size, as well as the number of layers of paper.
- We begin to fold the paper on one side in the form of an accordion.
- To make the second fold, carefully turn the sheets of paper over and fold it towards you.
- We repeat similar folding steps until the end of the sheet. During the folding process, we try to make folds of the same size.
- When the accordion is ready, fold it in half. This is necessary so that the pompom has the shape of a circle.
- We fasten the accordion in the middle with wire. Use pliers to tighten it. Do not pull the wire too tightly, otherwise you may tear the paper.
- After tightening, the wire can be trimmed in several ways. The first is to leave one end of the 30 cm wire, from which you can hang the pompom. Second - after winding, we cut the wire short and glue it to it satin ribbon and make a loop out of it.
- Using scissors, we shape the future pompom. To do this, you need to trim the ends of the accordion, giving them a sharp or rounded shape.
- After the accordions have been cut on one side, do the same on the other side. The only other thing you need to do is fold the accordion in half and mark where the curve begins.
- We straighten both tails of the pom pom and begin to give the pom pom a rounded shape. To do this, separate one layer of paper at a time and lift them towards the center to hide the middle of the pompom.
- After straightening the first half of the pompom, turn it over and begin straightening the second side.
The paper pompom is ready!
How to make paper pompoms - method 2
To create an openwork pompom you will need:
- cardboard;
- colored paper;
- scissors;
- glue;
- markers.
Let's start creating a honeycomb paper pompom:
- Fold the cardboard in half and draw a semicircle on it, then cut it out.
- Cut the cardboard circle in the middle into two equal parts.
- We prepare colored, thin paper by first folding it into one stack of 10 pieces of paper and cutting it to the desired size.
- We mark vertical stripes on a sheet of paper with blue and green felt-tip pens. The distance between the stripes should be the same size.
- Place the first piece of colored paper on the marked sheet and coat stripes of the same color with glue.
- Then glue the second layer of colored paper and apply glue in the second color.
- Repeat these steps until you run out of sheets of paper.
- Attach the semicircle to the glued sheets of paper and cut along its contour.
- Glue cardboard semicircles on one side and the other.
- We pierce the top of the workpiece with a needle and thread it so that the pompom can be hung.
- We straighten the pompom, and glue the opposite cardboard semicircles together.
An unusual, honeycomb pompom is ready!
Making a paper pompom is not difficult if you follow the above recommendations. Experiment with color combinations, pompom size, petal shape, etc. Pom poms can decorate any celebration and create a special festive mood!
Handicrafts help develop thinking and fine motor skills hands, and creative thinking. After all, New Year is very soon. Make decorations for the Christmas tree or the house in general. For example, do-it-yourself pom-poms made from corrugated paper. So bright, lush and colorful. They definitely brighten up any gray day. They are often used for decoration in different rooms.
Required materials
It is not difficult to obtain corrugated paper. Buy rolls at flower shops or look in stationery departments, they sell different types of paper. It doesn’t cost much, but there are so many different crafts you can make from it! In addition to paper, you will need scissors, a regular small ruler and a marking pencil for making. You also need to take a ball of thread or several multi-colored ribbons.
Don't worry if you don't know how to make pom poms yet. There are always plenty of photos of finished products, step-by-step pictures and a master class available to everyone on the Internet. Previously, in order to learn something from needlework, you had to enroll in special courses.
Now with the discovery of the Internet everything has become much easier. By watching videos, people learn languages, play instruments, dance and even fight. Of course, a lot depends on the quality of the videos and the degree of interest of the student, but here everything is much simpler. New Year's balls made from available materials.
Cooking process
The paper has a normal size - 50 cm wide and 2.5 m long. Take a roll and first measure it all with a ruler to determine the location of the middle. Mark it with a pencil line.
Then we cut the unwound roll in half, following the line. It turned out to be two identical shorter rolls.
Carefully unfold each of the rolls and cut 25*50cm rectangles from both. You'll get up to 5 pieces each. Then fold them into a neat stack, matching all sides to the corners. It is more convenient to apply light weight, because the squares themselves cannot lie flat.
Having unfolded the stack with the short side, carefully fold all the sheets like an accordion.
Make sure that the accordion has identical edges, so the balls are made of corrugated paper will turn out more beautiful.
Hold the accordion and measure it to mark the middle and draw a pencil line there. Then take a thread (or a ribbon from the prepared materials) and tie the accordion tightly along the line, leaving one end of the ribbon long.
Now it's time to determine the ends of the future pompom. As you can see from the finished photo, two semicircular lines are needed at the edge.
It is difficult to determine the desired angle or length of a line with a ruler, so use your eye, just make sure that the lines are the same on both sides. This is how pompoms made from paper and made with your own hands will turn out beautiful step by step. Cut one by one. First one corner.
Then the second one. The result is a petal.
You need to do the same with the second end of the accordion, performing the process in stages.
Corrugated paper is quite thin, so unfold it carefully, first one layer, then the next, lift everything up, imagining your pom-pom how it will turn out. At the end you should get a fluffy half of the ball.
Turn your “fan” over to the other side and fluff it, only trying not to wrinkle what has already been done. The paper ones will turn out big and fluffy.
Such splendor is ensured by the many faces of squares cut into a semicircle. Correct its edges so that the junction of the two sides is completely smoothed out. These large pompoms can be hung as separate element decor, somewhere by the window or put under the Christmas tree, on a shelf. To make the product smaller, measure the squares in smaller sizes.
There is also an option with multi-colored balls. The Christmas tree pom-pom should be two times smaller than this, so that it looks harmonious on the branch, next to the rest of the toys. However, such a ball will decorate any Christmas tree. Voluminous, fluffy and soft. To make it multi-colored, cut out squares from two or three colors of corrugation initially.
Fold them one by one, then admire the result. You can experiment by understanding how it should be done in general. Step-by-step photos and explanations make any activity accessible and understandable, especially handicrafts.
True, small balls are more difficult to make than large ones. Keep track of the number of squares, measure their size so as not to reduce the splendor of the finished product.
Where to post
Despite their size, such balls are quite light and do not pose a danger, even if they accidentally fall on the head of one of the guests or household members. Therefore, they are easy to hang somewhere from the ceiling or on a Christmas tree. It is more difficult to make such pom-poms from plain or thick paper; the balls will not turn out so fluffy, because corrugated paper has volume, it is initially terry, has bends, holds its shape and is easy to bend and fix the edges of the ball. Yes, flowers are wrapped in such sheets, so corrugation can be found in any flower shop.
Make balloon garlands and hang them at home, work or in the classroom. This is such a bundle of brightness and positive emotions, it’s nice to look at, you can even play with it, toss it to each other or just hold it in your hand.
By the way, when choosing colors, look at the Rooster’s preferences - he loves red and orange, yellow and gold, green. It is curious that at Christmas these colors are considered the main ones. Bring the holiday spirit to yourself, let the bright colors once again will remind you that the New Year is approaching! In addition to the ball, you can make from such paper various crafts. Cut out roses or several small balls to assemble into one wreath! It will turn out lush, light for a door or wall.
A volumetric ball can also be made from threads, especially woolen ones. They are so voluminous and soft.
The principle of operation will be similar, very simple. Here, from the selected skein, you need to literally chop many short pieces, collect them and tie them tightly, measuring the center. Then straighten both ends and that’s it, the pompom is ready.

Hello everyone! Another master class on the ShkolaLa blog! Today we will make large paper balls, the same ones that are used as a festive design at various parties.

So look what we got.
It all starts with preparation.
To make a pompom we will need:
- a roll of corrugated paper, also called crepe paper;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- ruler.
Standard size paper. Its width is 50 cm and its length is 2.5 meters.
We take a roll and use a ruler to determine where its middle is. Draw a line in this place with a pencil.
Without unwinding the roll, use scissors to cut it into two equal parts. There was one long roll, but now there are two short ones.
Then the rolls still need to be unrolled and cut into identical rectangles. You can make rectangles measuring 25cm X 50cm, then each roll will produce 5 rectangles. We made 25 X 40, and we got 6 pieces each.
The larger the rectangles, the more voluminous the pompom will be.
Then the rectangles need to be folded in a neat stack, on top of each other.
Since our paper always wanted to curl back into tubes, we pressed it with scissors on one side and a ruler on the other to take a photo. And, if you noticed, a ball of thread appeared in the photo! It should have been mentioned at the very beginning, during the preparation process. But we remembered that it is needed only now and immediately declare it. Instead of threads you can take a beautiful ribbon. But we didn’t have it and we made do with threads.
Then we turn the stack of sheets on one of the short sides towards us and begin to fold the sheets into an accordion.
It should look something like this.
Using a ruler, we determine where the middle of our corrugated accordion is and make a mark with a pencil.
We take a thread and tightly tie our accordion in the middle. One end of the thread should remain long.
Now let's start decorating the ends of our pompom. We will trim them a little and round them off so that the pompom looks like a flower. The photo shows which trajectory we will use to cut.
First, cut off one corner.
Then another. Well, we've sorted out one end. We do the same with others.
First, we unfold one side in the form of a fan.
Very carefully, so as not to tear, grab the first layer of paper and lift it.
Then the second one.
Well, then the third, fourth, fifth and sixth too. It's already beautiful!
We turn our “fan” over to the other side and fluff out the remaining six layers of paper. Only at the same time we try not to crush those that have already been issued.
It turns out like this. Very similar to a bridal bouquet. If you make half a pom-pom out of white paper and decorate the handle in green, it will look exactly the same. But now we have a different task, we do not white bouquet, A pink pompom. Therefore, using the same principle, we fluff the other end of our accordion.

And we get such beauty! We adjusted it a little with our hands so that the pompom took the shape of a ball. Then we decided to experiment and make another smaller pompom from the remnants of yellow corrugated paper that Tema found in the closet with all sorts of creative things. That’s what we call it – a creative locker. We have paints there, plasticine, glue and colored paper too. In principle, it worked.
And now we know that it is possible to make a small pompom, but it is much more difficult than a large one. And in this little yellow ball, we got not 12 layers of paper, like in the big one, but only 8, and that’s where the paper ended.
We hung these two pompoms on the chandelier in the children's room. And it immediately became more fun there! Well, holidays are coming soon in our family. First it’s my birthday, then our beloved grandmother’s. And now we know exactly how to decorate the premises so that it is elegant and beautiful.
But if we had a lot more of this paper, we would try to make the same beautiful flower as in the video below. Very beautiful! And the manufacturing principle is similar to pompoms.
Friends, you can leave your opinions about our master class in the comments. We will also be very grateful if you share the link to the article on social networks.
Thank you for your attention!
Happy creativity!
Always yours, Alexandra, Artem and Evgenia Klimkovich.

Pompons used in the decoration of various items and clothing are most often made from threads, strips of fabric or tulle. The simplest technique involves collecting a large bunch of textiles and tying it in the middle with a strong thread.
A do-it-yourself thread pompom is almost ready. All that remains is to use scissors to trim the edges to form a neat ball.
Using Forms
There is a more complex technique that allows you to make a neat pompom of any size. As a form, take 2 cardboard circles with cut out centers.
The size of the pompom depends on the thickness of the mold wall. The warps are put together and wrapped with thread. Then the molds are moved apart, the threads are pulled tightly in the center and the workpiece is cut between the cardboard inserts. This makes the product more accurate.
Pompom on a fork
A convenient basis for creating original small-sized balls is a fork. This decoration will be an excellent solution for scarves, baby booties and blouses. They are also used as an unusual decoration for blankets and bedspreads.

To make it you need to cut out 8-10 squares of paper the right size, stacking them one on top of the other. The resulting stack is folded like an accordion and tied in the middle with a fastening thread.
Then scissors form the edges, rounding them or vice versa, forming an acute angle, and straighten the paper, forming a ball.
An even more affordable option are pompoms made from napkins. The principle of operation is the same as when using paper, only the squares have already been formed, and the material itself is lighter and more pliable. The downside of napkins is the excessive fragility of the material and limited choice of colors.
Pom poms from bags
For outdoor use, jewelry is made from weather-resistant material - plastic bags. Such products can serve as decoration or be used by support teams at various competitions.
Depending on the purpose, the type of packages that are best suited for the task is selected.
So, it is better to make pom-poms for cheerleading from packages of “T-shirts”, which will allow you to form comfortable handles on the product. And products from garbage bags will be more voluminous and stronger.

So look what we got.
It all starts with preparation.
To make a pompom we will need:
- a roll of corrugated paper, also called crepe paper;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- ruler.
Standard size paper. Its width is 50 cm and its length is 2.5 meters.
We take a roll and use a ruler to determine where its middle is. Draw a line in this place with a pencil.
Without unwinding the roll, use scissors to cut it into two equal parts. There was one long roll, but now there are two short ones.
Then the rolls still need to be unrolled and cut into identical rectangles. You can make rectangles measuring 25cm X 50cm, then each roll will produce 5 rectangles. We made 25 X 40, and we got 6 pieces each.
The larger the rectangles, the more voluminous the pompom will be.
Then the rectangles need to be folded in a neat stack, on top of each other.
Since our paper always wanted to curl back into tubes, we pressed it with scissors on one side and a ruler on the other to take a photo. And, if you noticed, a ball of thread appeared in the photo! It should have been mentioned at the very beginning, during the preparation process. But we remembered that it is needed only now and immediately declare it. Instead of threads, you can take a beautiful ribbon. But we didn’t have it and we made do with threads.
Then we turn the stack of sheets on one of the short sides towards us and begin to fold the sheets into an accordion.
It should look something like this.
Using a ruler, we determine where the middle of our corrugated accordion is and make a mark with a pencil.
We take a thread and tightly tie our accordion in the middle. One end of the thread should remain long.
Now let's start decorating the ends of our pompom. We will trim them a little and round them off so that the pompom looks like a flower. The photo shows which trajectory we will use to cut.
First, cut off one corner.
Then another. Well, we've sorted out one end. We do the same with others.
First, we unfold one side in the form of a fan.
Very carefully, so as not to tear, grab the first layer of paper and lift it.
Then the second one.
Well, then the third, fourth, fifth and sixth too. It's already beautiful!
We turn our “fan” over to the other side and fluff out the remaining six layers of paper. Only at the same time we try not to crush those that have already been issued.
It turns out like this. Very similar to a bridal bouquet. If you make half a pom-pom out of white paper and decorate the handle in green, it will look exactly the same. But now we have a different task, we are making not a white bouquet, but a pink pom-pom. Therefore, using the same principle, we fluff the other end of our accordion.

And we get such beauty! We adjusted it a little with our hands so that the pompom took the shape of a ball. Then we decided to experiment and make another smaller pompom from the remnants of yellow corrugated paper that Tema found in the closet with all sorts of creative things. That’s what we call it – a creative locker. We have paints there, plasticine, glue and colored paper too. In principle, it worked.
And now we know that it is possible to make a small pompom, but it is much more difficult than a large one. And in this little yellow ball, we got not 12 layers of paper, like in the big one, but only 8, and that’s where the paper ended.
We hung these two pompoms on the chandelier in the children's room. And it immediately became more fun there! Well, holidays are coming soon in our family. First it’s my birthday, then our beloved grandmother’s. And now we know exactly how to decorate the premises so that it is elegant and beautiful.
But if we had a lot more of this paper, we would try to make the same beautiful flower as in the video below. Very beautiful! And the manufacturing principle is similar to pompoms.
