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:
  1. Take a piece of ribbon, fold in half, and put needle and thread through the ends.
  2. Repeat with the rest of the pieces. Here I alternated the colours but you can do whatever pattern you want.
  3. 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!šŸ˜Š 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...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...
