Pom-Pom Ornaments!

This week at Love is in the Details...

I love these cute Pom-Pom ornaments made from recycled t-shirts!


I saw these Pom-Pom ornaments on-line to check them out.

And just knew I had to try these! They are so cute!!!!!
I made these with my daughter's art class.
I thought that they were an awesome project, especially for students because it's festive but environmentally friendly.

We used old t-shirts, any color, it's up to you!

First lay the t-shirt flat and cut the hem off the bottom of the t-shirt.


Then cut the t-shirt into 1 inch strips:


Cut the loops into strips and stretch out till it curls:


Start wrapping tightly around a card with the ends hanging out:


First tie with waxed twine between the wrapped t-shirt and card, then remove carefully from the card:


Then tie all around the wrapped t-shirt, then snip all the loops to creat the pom-pom:


Once you have the pom-pom trim and shape into a ball:


Here is the first one I made:


Then I decided to make a white one , like a snowball:


Then I decided to use my mist sprays to add some color:
