Do It Yourself Pictorial... Snowball Pom Poms From Recyclable Plastic Grocery Bags

DIY Do-It-Yourself Snowball Pom Pom Pictorial

*
Make Pretty Things out of those White Plastic Grocery Bags

Step 1: Get a Plastic Grocery Bag in color of your choice.
I'm going to use White.

Step 2: Cut off both handles.

Step 3: Then cut up the rest of the bag into strips of 1 inch to 3 inches wide.
Don't be perfect. Just start cutting it up nilly willy. That's what makes this fun and fast.
You decide if you just want the White part of the bag or you want
color in your strips.

Step 4: You'll have a Lot of strips to play with.
More than this when you're done.

Step 5: Gather all your Long Strips. Cut them to the Same Long Length.
The Length is Up To You.
This will make it easier to shape your Pom Pom at the end.

Step 6: Fold them in Half.

Step 7: Cut Them In Half.
You'll have a LOT of smaller strips now.

Step 8: Using Dental Floss, String, Ribbon, what have you... 12 inches or longer,
Hold all the strips, and Tie in the Center of all the Strips.

Step 9: Hold down the Front of the Pom Pom.

Step 10: Trim to One Length.
You can cut it Short or Long...it's up to you.
Just cut it One length.

Step 11: Fluff out your Pom Pom...You're Done! Voila!
Wasn't that Fast and Fun?

Step 12: Attach your Snowball Pom Pom to a Gift tag, a Gift Bag,
on top of a wrapped Box...there's a lot of possibilities.

Once you start, you can't seem to stop.
