Loopy pom-pom hair bow

It has been a while since I posted a tutorial. This post I am going to show you how to make these cute loopy pom-pom hair bows. One of Miss Kiki's friends wore one to school a few days ago and I thought it was very cute.

You can make them in different sizes, but the ones I made here I used the 1 cm width grosgrain ribbon. Pictured above is the medium sized pompom, with a diameter of 3".

What you need for the pompom:

21 pieces of 3" strips ribbon. I had 3 different styles I want to combine so I cut 7 pieces each. You can add more or less pieces depending on how full you want your pom-pom.
needle and thread, knotted at the end.
a small piece of felt, about 1" diameter
glue

Pieces of ribbon

The How To:

Take a piece of ribbon, fold in half, and put needle and thread through the ends.
Repeat with the rest of the pieces. Here I alternated the colours but you can do whatever pattern you want.
When finished, tie the ends of the thread together, and voila! You can puff it up and arrange it however you like, and then glue the felt piece onto the bottom.

You can attach this pompom to practically anything you can think of, but for the hair bow purposes, I attached it to a lined 2.5" alligator clip.

Then you can make smaller ones with approximately 2.5" diameter. I used 15 pieces of 2.5" ribbon. You can see the difference in size and fullness below.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan. I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 2 - Leisure Day Trip

I booked a leisure day trip for our second day in Labuan Bajo via Traveloka . When I say leisure, I meant a non-diving trip. We have a live onboard trip booked for the 3rd to the 5th day but that one is a diving trip covering different places and adventures so we tried to cram the other must-visits of Komodo National Park in one day. For breakfast that morning, we had breakfast boxes that the resort had prepared for us by order. The tour was operated by East Cruise Komodo and it was an open trip consisting of thirty-something people. East Cruise Komodo picked us up at Sudamala Resort where we stayed at 5:30 am and brought us to the harbour. The re-registration process at the harbour took about half an hour and after we were assigned a boat, we boarded. On the boat, our tour leader collected what was supposed to be the entrance fee for the National Komodo Park. It was IDR 150k per person for locals and IDR 300k per person for foreigners. We never saw the tickets but later on, we foun
