I'm making pom-poms for gifts but wasn't sure what to make out of them. Thanks for the awesome idea! An additional idea is to make the colors of the pom-pom in football team or school colors and make them into keychains.

I love the way the pom poms look with twine! I've never thought of using anything except yarn. You are always thinking outside the box. I love it!

I remember making these in art class in Elementary school! So much fun...

Wow! And here I thought it was an original... Yes, they are so much fun! Cool pens help my 4 year old want to start writing and drawing. (I was worried that I might have an uncreative son) :) Thanks!

We never made the pom-poms themselves, just glued pre-made ones to the top of pens and wrapped them up! I'm excited to try and make one myself!
