Pom Pom Ring Tutorial

I hope you all Had an AMAZING Fourth of July

I did!

it was full of all sorts of Family Fun 

I'll post all about it later this week

But today it was back to the real world

and my real life full of insanity, changing dirty diapers 

in a public bathroom (ick I hate that)

Why Can't Little M wait to poop at home like him momma?

fixing dino nuggets, blogging, cooking dinner

playing with my little nugget 

and of course listening to my favorite song 

Tonight Tonight!

La la la, whatever, la la la, it doesn’t matter, la la la, oh well, la la la


We’re going at it tonight tonight
There’s a party on the rooftop top of the world
Tonight tonight and were dancing on the edge of the Hollywood sign

I don’t know if I’ll make it but watch how good I’ll fake it
Its all right, all right, tonight, tonight

Now that we have all enjoyed a little Hot Chelle Rae

Lets get on with the fun tutorial 

Read or not lets make a pom pom ring shall we?!

ok

If you are like me you have probably been seeing those 

pom pom necklaces, brooches and headbands everywhere

Yes? Yes!

well that is because they are adorable!

So after finding this tutorial from Ash 

I decided well why not make myself a fun,

flashy and summery pom pom ring?

Yes! why not?

So here it is super cute, unique and easy

Supplies you will need:

-Fabric (your choice of color and type) 

I used the sheer 

-Hot Glue and Glue gun

-Scissors

-Ring form (got mine at Hobby lobby in a 3 pack)

- and felt

What I did:

While your hot glue gun is heatin up

You will First cut out a small circle 

from the felt

About the size of a dime

You want it to be able to fit on the top of your ring form

Then I cut out 8 circles

with a 2 inch diameter 

I just cut out squares stacked them on top of each other

and cut them all at once 

it worked awesome and was way faster then doing them one at a time

Now it is time for the folding and gluing

These are the simple tricks that get you the ruffled 

pom pom look so pay attention :)

You take your circle of fabric

fold it in half and then fold it in half again

creating the look of the picture above

Then you are going to want to glue it on 

I glued mine on in an easy pattern 

I glued it putting the corner of the ruffle in the center of the felt circle

Then you just repeat and repeat and repeat with all the circles

gluing them in a pattern 

I did four on the first layer until all the felt was covered 

then did a layer of three 

and then with the last ruffle 

I glued it sitting up in the middle 

Then once all your cute circle ruffles are glued on making a pom pom

you them glue your felt circle 

to the ring form 

then let it dry 

and voila you are done

And it will look a little something like this :)

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

and Isn't it pretty?!

One in every color?

for every outfit?

Yes please :)

I have seen something similar at both target and claires 

for like $8-10 

mine cost about $2 
at the most

So get to it and make some of your own

In your favorite color

to go with your favorite outfit

You will get tons of compliments on them 

I promise

I have gotten compliments on it every time I where one

Even from strangers at the store

Where did you get that?

You made that?

That ring is so cute!

Etc. 

I love them all and so will you

Also if you have any more questions 

email them to me or comment 

and I will get back to you all
