PomPoms are becoming very popular, so we have created a simple step by step guide below.

Instructions Step by Step

Step 1: These are the supplies you will need to make the PomPoms

Step 2: Choose 5 or 6 long strands of colored Raffia

Cut a slit in a 2” wide piece of cardboard.

Step 3: Wrap the Raffia strands around the cardboard over the slit

Step 4: Tightly twist a 5” piece for floral wire around the center of the wrapped Raffia

(This is where the slit in the cardboard comes in handy)

Step 5: Trim the ends off the Raffia to match the size of the bow

Cut the outside loops of the bow on each side, remove from the cardboard.

Step 6: Lightly spray with water to make the Raffia more pliable

Step 7: Twist the ends up to fluff the Raffia into a PomPom ball

Step 8: Glue a decoration in the center to dress it up

(We used beads on a felt circle)

 Step 9: Repeat steps until all your PomPoms are complete

Step 10: Poke the floral wire through the bag to the inside

Step 11: Twist the wire inside the bag to secure tightly

Trim the extra wire.

Step 12:  Enjoy your unique, fun bag!
