Patriotic Pom Pom Sparklers

Yay! It's almost the 4th of July. 

I'm so ready for some fun. 

I wanted to make a little something 

sparkly for the girlies. 

Here is how I made these 
mini patriotic pom poms.

*First, I wound the yarn around an index card.

Then I pulled the bunch off of the index card and cut the end of the yarn.

I tied a piece of yarn around the middle of the bunch nice and tight.

Time to cut the loop ends on both sides of the bunch.

Then shape your pom pom by giving it a bit of a haircut. 

Don't cut too close to the tied piece of yarn. 

You want your pom pom to stay intact.

The red, white, and blue yarns together will look like this. 

And of course you can make solid color pom poms also.

Dot some tackly glue all over your pom pom and sprinkle on the glitter.

Dry completely.

 They should look like these.

 Then if you want to make a ring. 

Take a pony tail holder and measure it for fit and cut the excess.

Cut out two felt circles. 

 Hot glue the ends of the ponytail holder onto one felt circle.

Then hot glue the other felt circle on top. 

Once that is securely done,

hot glue your dried pom pom on top for a Patriotic Pom Pom Sparkler Ring.

 I also hot glued them in three on some barrettes. 

A headband would be darling also.

Have a fun 4th!
