Making Pom Poms

How to make a pom pom out of supermarket plastic bags.

Step 1. Lay 7 supermarket bags on top of each other, lining up the bottom edges.
Step 2. Staple along the edge of the bags.
Step 3. Cut off the handles which are at the opposite end to the stapled end.
Step 4. Working towards the stapled end, make cuts from the unstapled end about one inch apart, towards the stapled end, stopping 2 inches from the staples. Work you way across the bags until the entire width is cut into strips.
Step 5. Take the stapled end in your hand, and roll from one side to the other.
Step 6. Secure the rolled end with sellotape, masking tape, duct tape etc for about 8 centimetres, or enough to form a handle.
Step 7. Shake the pom pom out to fluff it up.
