DIY Tutorial: Pom Pom Bike Tassels

So, I was cruising around the beach on my bike and I saw a girl with pom poms hanging from her handlebars! I immediately knew I needed to make some!! And I’m going to show you how!

Supplies:

♥ Yarn (I’m using Vanna’s Glamour, but any kind will work!)
♥ Pom Pom maker tool (or make your own using my tutorial)
♥ Scissors
♥ Yarn needle
♥ Two paper clips
♥ Crochet hook (optional – you don’t need to know how to crochet to make this!)

Step 1: Make 4 pom poms. (If you don’t know how, I have a tutorial here).

Step 2: Make two crochet chains and be sure to leave a yarn tail on both ends. I made mine about 10 inches long (not including the tails). If you don’t know how to crochet, you can just use a piece of yarn rather than making a chain.

Step 3: Thread your yarn needle onto one end of the chain you just made and secure it to the center of the pom pom. Cut off the extra tail and then repeat this to attach another pom pom to the other end of the chain.

Step 4: Put the end of a paper clip through one chain. I like to make mine so one pom pom hangs slightly higher than the other. If you didn’t make a chain and are just using a piece of yarn, you’ll have to knot your yarn onto the paper clip.

Now you can insert the paper clips into the holes on the ends of your handlebar grips!

yay! :D

If pom poms aren’t really your thing, I also have a tutorial on how to make your own streamers using ribbon!
