Tulle Pom Poms












Ok, holy moly these are fun!   This is my favorite kind of project to do at night after the kids go to sleep.  They take no time and are so adorable!  If little miss Charlotte wears one of these out, it takes my twice as long to run my errands because she attracts so much attention :)



Oh my, I love her.


When I am looking through pictures of this girl at night while she is sleeping upstairs...I often catch myself talking to her pictures like she is really there. :)

"Charlotte you sweet little thing I just want to squeeze you to little pieces!''

I say things of this nature.  I can't help it really.



Are you thinking you better make some of these?



You will need:

tulle
string
scissors
pom pom makers

I have had my eye on these little tools at Joanns for awhile.  These are the Clover Brand.  They are around $6, and totally worth it.  There are a few different sizes to choose from and they come in a two pack.


Start off by opening one side of your pom pom maker.  Then wrap your tulle evenly around that one side until you get to the end and then wrap it all the way back to where you started.



Cut your tulle and close that side.


Then open up your other side.

 

Wrap just like you did your first side and cut your tulle again. 


It will look like this!


 Then cut right down the middle all the way around the tulle.


It should look like this.


Then take your string...



Cut a strand.




Tie  your string in a half knot and pull it very tight.  Then finish with another half knot to make a complete knot.


Then open up your two sides.


Pull the two sides of your pom pom maker apart.


And there you will have the sweetest little pom pom.
Cut your string.


There are always a few stragglers that make your pom pom look a little uneven.
I just go ahead and give my pom poms a little haircut.


This photo can give you an idea of the different sizes the pom pom makers make.



To attach them to the headband, I just like to cut out a circle of felt...


put some hot glue on there...


open up the pom pom to the middle and just stick that felt right on there.


Then I measure my babies head, cut the elastic a couple inches shorter, and glue the ends of the elastic together with hot glue.


I put a little hot glue onto the elastic where I glued the end pieces together (this hides where the elastic is glued together)...


and stick the pom pom right on!


You can also glue these onto clips!



So easy!
Happy Pom Pom making!

People have forgotten about traditional internet stores at a stage where the trend in social media has peaked. For whatever reason, it is believed that emails are also the only way to have formal discussions. Everyone uses emails, especially Gmail, whether in colleges, corporations, or small businesses. People use Gmail for more than just office work; they also use it to monitor their social media accounts and get bank update updates. Today, email remains the sole leader of email conversations and it is easy to use. However, people continue to complain about technology issues affecting their jobs, which is completely acceptable. Gmail Temporary Error 500 is one of these errors.Gmail Contact

Streaming free IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) using M3U links has become a trend among music and cinema lovers. Since it doesn’t have any inbuilt channels like Netflix, Hotstar, and other OTT platforms, it needs M3U playlist URLs.
