a crafty copier: t-shirt pom poms.

I came across this idea via eighteen25 (quickly becoming another favorite blog).  The husband had just tossed a pile of t-shirts on the floor, en route to goodwill. The only natural thing to do was to grab my scissors.



and a piece of card board.

go gators


wrap the cardboard using 1 strip of t-shirt to secure one side of the 'wrap.' I loosely tied it before cutting the other side.  Once the other side was free from the cardboard I tightened the strip of t-shirt to secure pom.   I think the tighter you wrap, the more 'perfect' your pom will be.  My goal is rarely for perfect.


voila, 2 silent cheer leading pom poms in mommy's school colors.



I took it a step further the following night and made a mini pom.  


wrap your heart out like you did above


I'm certain I should find a better way to secure this small pom, maybe a small wire.  It's still in one piece, but I haven't set her free with it yet.  with just a little more effort it will make a cute hair accessory.  I'm thinking hair clips.
