There's nothing we love more than an inexpensive and easy to do craft that has out-of-sight results! This fabric pom pom tutorial is a great way to bring a little life to a room or even your next party. Details after the jump.
Underneath this wavy exterior lies nothing more than a Chinese paper lantern. Circular pieces of fabric are cut and then folded and hot glued onto the shade. It's really that simple.
If you choose to use smaller shades like what's shown above, we suggest using either no light, or a low temp, low voltage light to keep the chance of fire away, but the larger shades can be used without worry of overheating.
Check out the full tutorial over at Once Wed and although they can be used for a wedding, we really like the idea of making something large and fluffy to hang in a kids space!

Gorgeous!
Love the color combo.
these are fab. hoping fool proof too? i tried the tissue paper pom poms and they were not so cute at all. but these look super!
I made the tissue paper pom poms with my sister - hers turned out way better than mine - I think her trick was super sharp folds and keeping them uniform width...
(I was a bit casual with my folds and they turned out rather floppy!)
But these ones are fab - and look less squashable than the tissue ones...
These are really cute! I made mine using cheapo styrofoam balls and felt and they turned out AWESOME! I think using felt really helped they are a lot harder to squish, which I think might happen easily using regular fabric.
oh, lovely! i'll definitely try making some of these!
Atined, I love the felt/styrofoam balls idea. Do you have a link to a photo of the finished pom poms?
