Pom Poms for the 49ers. Her pre-school is having a 49er spirit day tomorrow, and she is very happy to be able to wear her red party dress instead of plaid jumper that day. When I asked her if she knew who the 49ers were, she said yes. I pulled up a google image query for her to see, and then I remarked that they were all red and gold, so that was the color we would make the pom poms. She responded to me..."they aren't all red and gold....their faces aren't gold." The beauty of literal interpretation and care in observation.
Lots of sheets of tissue paper (about 8+ each), fold over about 1.5-2" (back and forth..flip sheets with each fold). Tie in the middle (I used thin copper wire), lift up each sheet ....puffs right up....arrange for total round, or flower like. You can cut a reverse "U" (round part on the end) on the folded ends prior to opening up to give a scallop/rounded edge. Her pom pom headdress is attached to a headband via a hair tie put on the center of the tissue length before one unfurls them. Needs a fair amount of bobby pins to stay in place
