Silk Chiffon Pom Pom

MATERIALS
DHG silk chiffon 6 in color Sand
Ribbon of your choice
Sewing machine or hand sewing needle and thread
Scissors

Let’s Start!

METHOD

• Cut two (or more) identical strips of your silk chiffon. Width and length of the strips will determine the size of your pom pom.

• Use a running stitch to loosely sew through the length of the strip, either by hand or with a sewing machine, leaving a good amount of loose thread on both ends

• Pull the thread and ruffle the strip from both sides. Repeat on other strips.

• Tie the centre of one ruffled strip using the ribbon, again, leaving some loose amount on both ends: you’ll need them to hang your pom pom once it’s finished

• Place the second ruffled strip on top. Align the centres, but rotate the second one to form a cross.

• Tie the second strip in place by using the loose ends of the ribbon.

• Trim the edges of your pom pom with the scissors and finally ruffle it gently with your fingers, to make it look all fluffy.

• Here’s your finished pom pom! Use the loose ends of the ribbon to hang it or tie it as a decoration or even wear it as a cute headpiece. For larger pom poms, we recommend adding more strips to achieve a fuller look.
