How To Make Pom Pom's For Your Roller Skates, DIY Video

Hi there, welcome back to our YouTube channel. My name is Tani and this is Koya. Today we are going to be doing do-it-yourself pom-poms for our skates, and you get to find out along with us whether this is a success or a complete fail. We've never done them, we're just winging it, but I think the pom-poms on skates is super cute and we have a lot of extra yarn, so we thought we'd give it a try. Some pretty awesome news is we recently hit 500 subscribers. We're going to be doing a $50 gift card giveaway. All you have to do is subscribe, follow us on Instagram, and right underneath that you're entering into the giveaway, and that's it. We'll contact somebody a week after this video goes live is when the giveaway will close and we'll reach out. On to our pom-poms. We watched a quick video on how to make pom-poms, but first we start with a couple pieces of cardboard and a big circle, and then you take a pen and trace around that circle. So you trace two circles total, and then you take a smaller circle to trace for in the center. You take both of the circles, you cut them out, and then you cut out the middle, and then you cut out the little space right here. You put your two circles together. It is toast day. The next step is wrapping the donut. You don't want to do it too tight. Yeah. You're doing great. I have figured out. Oh my gosh. Gee, Chuck. The date started out fine. Somewhere towards the middle things started to get a little tense. Oh, I cut in the end. Yeah, I'm just going to start, and I probably won't even need that much because this is already a lot. I have a feeling I made my donut too tight. We're just going to keep going. We will give video credit to who we learned this off of on YouTube down below, so if you want to check out the actual video. It's probably way better than ours. It's going to be way better than ours. I think you cut it, right? Yeah. You put it in between the two cardboard pieces. Oh my gosh. This makes me so nervous. It feels like it's losing. It's okay, little fella. It's in there. Next, you want to cut a strand of yarn. Put the yarn in between the cardboard pieces all the way around. I'm relieved to be doing this part, and I'm scared for you as well. It was intense. I'm going to double knot that. Oh my gosh. Okay, we're going to tuck it in. Yes. Wrap it around. Okay. Ready? Got it? Got it? Now tie it. You're fine. I wouldn't even worry about that. You probably have enough. So if you lose a couple strands, you're fine. And then double knot that. Okay, I think we put these off, right? Yeah, I'm going for it. Okay. It's a hairball. Oh, he's so cute. Do we have glue? Yeah, we actually do. Downstairs. What is that? I'm going to cut Perfect. I didn't want mine huge anyways. There you go. You two are just fine. Where is Fifi? Oh, what is that, Fifi? This is our kitty, Fifi. She's got divine toe hair. She's our rescue. We got her from the pound. I don't know how on earth this little princess ended up in a pound. She is the most amazing cat. And from day one, bringing her home, she is just a princess. She doesn't make messes. She doesn't get into anything. She just sleeps all day. She only poops on the carpet like twice. Yeah, she's just beautiful. Oh my, I accidentally cut that one. Yo, you gotta slow down on the scissors. He looks beautiful. It's okay. Okay, there's one. Are we ready for round two? This is easier because you just use the cardboard pieces you already have. What if I could do half and half? You probably could. I'm going to try that. That's cool. I seriously feel a little lightheaded. I've actually felt lightheaded quite a bit today, and I don't know if that's because of the smoke. It's slightly concerning. I've stood up a few times and felt like I was going to pass out. It's fine. It's fine. Everything's fine. My trick with the scissors is just be as aggressive as you can. It's turned out well for you so far. I'm so upset. Can you cut this real quick? Oh, I like the half and half. That is rad. It's a very good idea. I have sweat dripping down my back. So these are my practice runs, and then I will actually do pink and purple ones for sure. You gotta go get your pom-pom. Hopefully this video has shown you that you can make your own pom-poms. For me personally, these were a practice round once, but that's fine. It was fun to do. You got super creative with yours, adding extra colors. I love this orange color. Thank you so much for watching. Please subscribe. We'll see you again soon. Bye-bye.
