FAQ (Updated 2020)
Q: How many tissue paper sheets do I need?
A: When buying supplies, purchase 32 total sheets of tissue paper, which makes 2 pom poms. 16 sheets per pom pom.
Q: How many toilet paper rolls do I need?
A: Two empty toilet paper rolls for the pair.
Q: Can I use more than 16 sheets?
A: Absolutely. The more sheets you use the more full the pom poms will be.
Q: Can I use fewer than 16 sheets?
A: Yes, but the pom poms will be less fluffy and more sparse.
Q: Can I use different colors?
A: YES! That's the beauty of it! You can use one, two, three or more colors.
Q: Can I use other material other than tissue paper?
A: YES!!! You can use whatever material you like. The sky is the limit! The steps of the tutorial will yield the same general result. However, I cannot guarantee the finished result (how they look, handle, or last) of pom poms made with a different material (such as plastic table cloths, paper, plastic trash bags, foil paper, etc) simply because I haven't made pom poms using those materials.
Need something to keep your creative juices flowing and get ready for football season? Make pom poms like professional cheer squads use! These NFL style pom poms may be a funny shape but the robust handles and double puff shape make these amazingly eye-grabbing and perfect for competitions, dance, or just rooting on your favorite team. Easy and fun to make, even a novice crafter can do it! Follow along with this tutorial and have fun!

I just finished making one, gonna make the other tomorrow bc it’s reaaally time consuming. But for whoever is gonna make this, just know that it’s a very trust the process kind of thing. When I started cutting the paper, the scissors weren’t super sharp so the cuts were ragged and it was looking terrible, I really wanted to give up. But after all the fluffing, it looks AMAZING. All the “ugly” details of the cuts don’t even show, it looks hella cute. So if you’re doing this, don’t give up and trust the process cause it really works out in the end. And the result is awesome, I totally recommend it.

[@FollowMeg]

I couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m so glad you pushed through and finished because - while fluffing out the tassels does take time - the end result will make you feeling like a crafting queen! Way to go girl!

I know this was done 4yrs ago, but I wanted to take a moment to just say thank you, bc of this video, I was able to make my raiderette cheerleader outfit, with stuff I had around the house, just bc my honey was being a butt, and not wanting to buy my costume, which is to match my 8yr old in his raider football uniform costume for Halloween! I, being his biggest fan and am always cheering for him! Thank you again for helping to make halloween night as great, fun and as memorable as possible!!

I’ve used this tutorial multiple times to make newspaper pom-poms to dance to songs from “Newsies”. It’s been so helpful! Thank you!

[@recandetta]

You saved me!! My 6 year old decided 3 days before Halloween that she wanted to be a cheerleader...I can't find pompoms ANYWHERE! I found your tutorial and these turned out so dang cute! She is so excited about her fluffy and huge pompoms. Thank you so much!!!!

My 3 yr old wanted rainbow pom poms for his brothers basketball games. I started making them and knew I wanted the baton style, but got stumped. Lo and behold found your video and it was perfect.

[@FollowMeg]

You’re welcome! I recommend using plastic tablecloths so all your hard work lasts longer. I have a video for that if you’re concerned with how to work with the material. I hope it helps. They are fun - if not a little time consuming to make.

[@bfuatrophyxtissues]

You could use fabric/non water vulnerable material instead of the tissue paper to get rid of the problem! If it's not crinkly it also gets rid of the sound if you don't like that!

[@FollowMeg]

Hey there. I’m not sure what you mean by “the paper”? But, you can use whatever material you want and make Pom poms in this style by following this tutorial. My caveat is that I’m not sure how the medium you chose will behave overall or what special preparation you will need to work with the medium you choose. Good luck liebchen.

Have Fun. Yes Bring it On, But I'm A Cheerleader, or Any film with Cheerleaders would be good when makin' Pom Poms.

Says the same as the pros but I know good and well that NFL/NBA cheerleaders re-use their pompoms aren’t made of paper. Someone chime in with the proper material for pro pompoms.
