How to Draw a Pom-Pom
Draw a pom-pom in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: fluffy ball.
Step 1: Fluffy ball
In the middle of your paper draw a big shaggy ball, with rounded streamer tips all the way round.
Tip Make some tips a little longer than others, so it looks fluffy.
Step 2: Short handle
Under the ball draw a short fat handle with a round end. Start and stop at the ball.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the ball draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a white shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Draw a small flat oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: Streamer lines
Draw 6 long curvy lines. Start each one near the face and stop in a notch between two tips.
Step 6: Grip band
Just under the ball draw a band across the handle, a little wider than the handle.
Step 7: Two sparkles
Draw a small sparkle star up in each top corner, not touching the pom-pom.
Step 8: Yellow sparkles and band
Go over your lines. Colour the sparkles and the grip band yellow.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks pink.
Step 10: Red ball
Colour the ball red, around the face and cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Slate handle
Colour the handle slate, around the yellow band. Your pom-pom is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a pom-pom, drawn by you.
