Loopy pom-pom hair bow

It has been a while since I posted a tutorial. This post I am going to show you how to make these cute loopy pom-pom hair bows. One of Miss Kiki's friends wore one to school a few days ago and I thought it was very cute. 

You can make them in different sizes, but the ones I made here I used the 1 cm width grosgrain ribbon. Pictured above is the medium sized pompom, with a diameter of 3".

What you need for the pompom:

• 21 pieces of 3" strips ribbon. I had 3 different styles I want to combine so I cut 7 pieces each. You can add more or less pieces depending on how full you want your pom-pom.
• needle and thread, knotted at the end.
• a small piece of felt, about 1" diameter
• glue

Pieces of ribbon

The How To:

1. Take a piece of ribbon, fold in half, and put needle and thread through the ends.
   
2. Repeat with the rest of the pieces. Here I alternated the colours but you can do whatever pattern you want.
   
3. When finished, tie the ends of the thread together, and voila! You can puff it up and arrange it however you like, and then glue the felt piece onto the bottom.
   

You can attach this pompom to practically anything you can think of, but for the hair bow purposes, I attached it to a lined 2.5" alligator clip.

Then you can make smaller ones with approximately 2.5" diameter. I used 15 pieces of 2.5" ribbon. You can see the difference in size and fullness below.
