How to Make a Pom Pom Towel for Your Bathroom
I wanted to share a quick little DIY project for how to make a pom-pom towel for your bathroom. This project takes no time and can make such a statement in your bathroom (or kitchen!)Â
I have had these bathroom hand towels for a while and wanted to make them more punchy and styled. Â
I used this leftover Pom-Pom trim from another project, and I thought this would be the perfect little touch in our guest bathroom. Sometimes we have good towels; they just need a little something! You know what I mean?Â
So, here’s how to make your inexpensive pom-pom-trimmed towel.
How to Make a Pom Pom Towel
I used a sewing machine, and it literally took me 2 minutes to sew the trim, but you could also use permanent fabric glue. Â
This is the pom-pom trim I got. I have washed mine, and the trim holds up just fine, even out of the dryer. It’s easy to go to home goods or online to purchase a set of inexpensive but nice cotton hand towels and punch them up with this effect. Â
I am also thinking of trying this with a tassel trim. So cute!
How to Make a Pom Pom Towel
- Measure and cut your trim to fit your towel. Make sure not to pull the trim too much! You want it to be relaxed, not stretched.
- Carefully sew your trim on each side of the towel. If you find the towel is too thick on the trim part, you can move the pom-pom trim slightly up, which I did on one of my towels. This way, it wasn’t too thick to sew through. Â
- You could even add a couple of layers of trim or put the trim three-quarters of the way down on the towel. Whatever you feel looks best!


Voila! Time to display your new hand towel! They sell Pom-Pom trim in different sizes and colors, so endless possibilities exist.

I hope this helps jazz up your bathrooms a bit more.
