DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Simple Pom Poms

Quick and easy pom poms that you can make for a cheerleader costume.
 

Materials:

• two hair scrunchies (one for each pom pom) in a complimentary color,
   
• curling ribbon in two or three colors
   

Note:  You can buy curling ribbon at dollar stores (the cheapest option), craft stores or even Amazon.com:
 

• black
• blue
• gold
• green
• purple
• red
• white
   

Instructions:

• Measure about a 3 foot length of ribbon -- and then do it 50 more times *grin* -- I like to wrap the ribbon back and forth between my hands -- use all of your colors.
   
• Tie your clump of ribbon around the hair scrunchy.
   
• Repeat the whole process to make a second pom pom.
   
• Practice your cheers!
   
• Check out directions for an entire cheerleader costume.
