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!😊 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...

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
