1) Draw a circle the same size as you would like your pom pom. I used a saucer to draw around as I can’t draw one free hand. Remember the bigger the circle the bigger your pom pom.

3) Cut around the circle and cut out the inner circle. DIY Post: Tulle Pom Pom

9) If at any point the piece of tulle that you are using ends and is a bit longer than the circle, you should cut it. If you leave it a bit too long then the edge of your pom pom will not be lovely and even. DIY Post: Tulle Pom Pom 10) Keep wrapping until you have basically filled the hole in the center.

12) Ensure that your scissors are between the two pieces of cardboard, cut all the way around the circle. DIY Post: Tulle Pom Pom DIY Post: Tulle Pom Pom
