Pompom Hair Band Tutorial
March 15th, 2010 | 
Author: Lately everywhere I look there are pom pom hair bands. Seriously it’s hard to turn around without seeing some kind of variation! I’ve been seeing them worn in hair and as bracelets or tied to bags. At first I couldn’t stand them but they’ve been slowly growing on me… and now I think they’re cute! The only thing is that here in Aus because they are more hard to come by they are very expensive, who wants to pay $20 for a hair tie?!
So I decided to make my own and it took around 10 minutes.
What you need:
-Pom poms in various colours
-Stretchy jewelery thread
-Needle
-Glue
Decide on the pattern you want and lay out your pom poms in a circle. I used 9 medium pom poms but you might need more or less depending on how big you want it and how squishy your pom poms are.
Get your stretchy jewelry thread and thread it onto your needle.
Pick up your first pom pom and thread it onto the elastic. Don’t go straight through the middle, go slightly to the side so you can fit as many pom poms onto it as possible.
Thread them all on!
Once you’ve got them all there, thread your needle through the first one pom pom again. Pull the thread tight to form a circle. Depending on how thick your stretchy thread is you might need to go through all of them again to make it extra sturdy.
Now tie the thread off in a double knot. Make sure to pull the knot extra tight but be careful it doesn’t pull the pom poms too close together or you won’t be able to stretch it over your hair! Finish by adding a tiny drop of glue to the knot for extra strength.
Taadaa! I am Wonder Woman deflecting bullets!
The lovely Super Kawaii Mama shows us you can use all kinds of sizes and colours:
Great for entertaining yourself as well.
And SKM’s doggie is an even cuter model:
And of course you could just wear it like a normal person…
Enjoy ^_^

“Wear it like a normal person” -ROFL. Sweet puppy dog too
Pom poms have been growing on me too, and I almost wore strings of pompoms in white and blue wrapped around the horns of my wig – but settled for the eyeballs instead.
Everytime I look at your blog you make me want to be crafty! I need to go to a craft store soon and soothe my crafting beast ^_^v
Haha glad to e of service ma’am <3 Hopefully you can find something easy like this to cut your craft teeth on then you'll be sewing whole outfits in no time!
omg , i just spent 2SGD buying a pompom. Hahas , i should learn from you next time
be crafty , save money
This is such a brilliant idea! I usually try to make things rather than buy them, but for some reason just couldn’t come up with a good way to make these pompom things
Thanks so much for the lovely tutorial!
Aww no worries ^_^ If you make anything I’d love to see!
that’s cute! I saw them on Cheesie’s hair and was wondering were she got it
Now I just have to find some pompom’s
^_^ I think Cheesie bought hers, it’s made of slightly different pom poms more fluffy than fuzzy… if that makes sense
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA. Sooo cute. Ima have to make on myself too! I love it.
This is so cute! What a great idea to make them yourself. Most places sell them way over priced. SKM’s dog is such a cute model
Heehee SKM’s doggie was the cutest little thing ever! Yeah I can’t stand paying for things I could do myself ^_^
Oh, Violet!
This tutorial is great! After I got a pom gomu out of a copy of Hana*Chu I am completly in love with the pompom bands!! ;-;
now I can make my own custom to my outfits. HAHA. Course I don’t wanna over do? Maybe there’s a chouchou gomu tutorial so I can make more hairbows. HOMNOMNOM? ;3
Also hair tutoriaaaaal!! O_O I am GAGA for your hair!!
Yay! I’m glad you enjoyed it! If you make some you have to show me
Okokokok hair tutorial soon! I have to wait and dye my roots first LOL. Yap I can do whatever tutorial you want, just send me a picture of what kind of bow you mean ^_^
If you were to have a chance to change your looks, would you want to look Asian? Just curious though…
Hi Xian! Interesting question! No, if I could magically change my appearance I wouldn’t want to look more Asian. While I definitely think there are many beautiful Asian women out there, I equally think there are many beautiful Caucasian women out there too. I am very happy with the way that I look ^_^
you are like a god of making cute things!
I love your red and white polka dot dress! May I ask what brand it is?
I can’t wait for my hair to get long enough for me to use cool hair ties too!
Aww thank you ^_^ You mean the one at the very end of the post? It was a vintage piece given to me by Candice aka Super Kawaii Mama, I think she got it off ebay. Actually I think it is hand sewn, which is awesome and the little spots are actually tiny little sail boats! It’s one of my favorites at the moment
