shoe pom pons

Does anyone know how to make shoe pom pons, need to make some for daughters cheerleading team, and have no clue how to make these, thanks.

You can buy a tool to use to make them at any craft store but the chepest way is to take 2 round pieces of cardboard and cut the center out so that is basically looks like a washer. Put them side by side and start looping your yarn or ribbon around it thru the center hole. Wrap until you can't get any more thru the hole. Take your scissors and seperate it enough to get your scissors between the two pieces of cardboard and cut all the way around. you will have straight pieces that are being held by the fact that you have a lot of yarn in the center of the hole and it should not go anywhere. Take a piece of yarn and tie around the bundle of straight pieces (between the 2 pieces of cardboard) Tie it tight and then pull it out of the hole. You may have to trim to make it perfectly round. This is really easy until you start explaining it. Hope this helps.

My cheer squads wanted korkers for their shoepoms.

I make my small loopy pig tail pairs to clip onto the shoes. They are quite cute.

Ok, OK... lol... I just took these on my bookshelf so excuse the poor quality. I make these instead of korkers for pig tail lovers at my shows. They work great on shoes too. Fast and easy. Just finished 19 pairs and two more squads are waiting for 28 pairs between the both of them. These are on my little shoes so they look a little large. Enjoy...

So, you just clip the french clip through the top of the laces? Looks very cute!
