It is difficult to imagine a cheerleading group at competitions and tournaments without large and bright pom-poms, which make the cheerleading performance more interesting, brighter and more spectacular. It is not difficult to make such pom-poms - for this you only need thin corrugated or tissue paper of different colors, as well as scissors and fishing line. Multicolored fluffy pom-poms look festive and fun, and will undoubtedly decorate any cheerleading performance.
Instructions
Step 1
Unfold the roll of corrugated paper, cut into equal sheets and stack them. Place as many layers of paper as possible on top of each other to make the pompom thicker. Select the width of the paper so that it matches the desired diameter of the pompom.
Step 2
Begin to fold the entire stack of paper neatly with an accordion, making narrow folds. Having completely folded the entire stack with a narrow accordion, mark its middle and tie in this place with a strong thread or fishing line. Now take scissors and curly cut the edges of the accordion to the left and right.
Step 3
Choose the shape of the trim as desired - you can make the edges sharp, rounded, zigzag, and so on. The shape of the edges of the accordion will affect the further shape and appearance of the pompom.
Step 4
Spread the accordion tied in the middle, gently straightening each sheet of paper. Shake the pompom and hang it on a string or line coming out of its center.
Step 5
You can also hold the pompom for this thread by making a loop out of it. Pom-poms can be attached to clothes, or you can hold them in your hands during dances and stunts, participating in the production of a group of fans.
Step 6
Be creative, combine different colors of paper in one pompom, change their size and shape of the edges, and they will be a great decoration for any cheerleading team, making its performance more spectacular, brighter and livelier, and creating serious competition for rival teams.
