I got this idea after sitting in the away section of a one of Brooklyn’s football games. A girl in front of me was wearing these and she was having way too much fun with them! I don’t know about other teams, but our team, we are always doing stuff. Whether it’s lifting up your shoe for the kickoff, waiving your arms back and forth for a field goal, chanting, that sort of thing! The pom poms are small round balls made out of yarn, string, ribbon or fabric. Add the pom poms to the tip of each finger to create the spirit gloves for the perfect touch to those cold stadium nights.

Instructions : 1.Snip the toilet paper tube into sections. You’ll be using this to make the pom pom, so the length of each strand of yarn in the final pom will be half the width of the tube. If you want larger or smaller poms, you can cut cardboard to whatever size you like. Toilet paper tubes just happen to be very plentiful in our house. 2. Wrap yarn around the tube several times to make the base of your pom pom. The kids wrapped each color around the tube six times. Wrapping more times will make a fuller, stiffer pom if you prefer that. 3.This is the tricky part of pom pom making: slide the yarn off the cardboard and tie it off in the middle. It’s much easier if you enlist the help of a buddy, even if her four-year-old fingers are a little wiggly! Tie your yarn as tightly as you can so the pom won’t slip. 4. Repeat this process until you have ten pom poms – five for each hand. 5. Thread the needle with yarn that matches the gloves and/or the pom poms. Slide it in and out of a finger tip, right up at the seam at the top. Try to leave only a tiny space between where you go in and where you come back out, as you’re really just tying a knot there. Lay the pom pom across this yarn right at the finger tip, and tie the yarn tightly across the center of the pom pom to attach it to the glove. Repeat this process until you have all ten pom poms, one on each finger. 6. Once the pom poms are on, to make sure they’re secure and to let them fluff up a little. Now you’re ready to show your school spirit!!
