FAQ (Updated 2020)
Q: How many table cloths do I need?
A: When buying supplies, 2- 54" x 108" rectangle tablecloths (available at Party City, Dollar Tree, or Amazon) makes 2 pom-poms.

Q: How many squares does each pom pom need to have/how many squares does each tablecloth make?
A: There isn't an exact number of squares because it depends on the size of the tablecloths you use. However, if you cut your material according to the tutorial, the number of squares doesn't matter. The two piles of squares (same color) should be collated into alternating colors (every other) and those two piles should be relatively even size & number - if you have to just guesstimate - it doesn't have to be perfect. You won't know the difference.

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 a plastic tablecloth?
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 paper, plastic trash bags, foil paper, etc) simply because I haven't made pom poms using those materials.
IF YOU ARE USING MORE THAN TWO COLORS: make sure to use no more than 50 squares of material per pom pom.
