I am always on the hunt for fun, easy ways to add a bit of personality to my wardrobe, and today, I’ve got something super cute to share with you: DIY faux fur pom-pom loafers.
The DIY faux fur pom-pom loafers are perfect for adding a cozy, playful twist to your regular loafers, and the best part? You only need a few things, which will be done quickly.
Let’s begin.
Gather the Following Supplies:
- A pair of loafers
- Faux fur fabric (you can find it at any craft store)
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Needle and thread (optional, but recommended for extra security)
Step 1: Make Your Faux Fur Pom-Poms
If you’ve never made pom-poms, don’t worry, it’s so easy. In this guide, we will do it the old-fashioned way using our hands. Here’s how I do it by hand:
- Cut a faux fur fabric into a rectangle, about 5 inches by 3 inches.
- Roll the fabric around your hand or two fingers, depending on how big you want your pom-poms to be.
- Now, wrap it around a few times and then carefully slide it off your fingers.
- Tie a piece of thread or string around the middle to hold everything together.
- Trim the edges to fluff up the pom-pom, and your cute little fur ball is ready.
- Make two of these for your loafers.
Step 2: Attach the Pom-Poms to Your Loafers
Now that you have an adorable pair of faux fur pom-poms, it’s time to attach them to your loafers. This part is super simple, and I promise you will have it done in minutes.
- Heat your glue gun with glue sticks.
- Place the pom-pom on the top front of your loafer, centered, and make sure you get the right idea about the placement.
- Add a dab of hot glue to the back of the pom-pom and gently press it down on the loafer. Hold it for a few seconds to let it set. Repeat on the other shoe.
- For extra security, I like to use a needle and thread to stitch the pom-poms onto the loafers after gluing. It doesn’t take long and makes them more durable.
Step 3: Flaunt Your New Loafers
That’s it, you’re done! How easy was that? You’ve just created a pair of stylish, unique faux fur pom-pom loafers that look like they came straight off a boutique shelf.
Style Tips
- These pom-pom loafers are perfect for adding flair to any casual outfit.
- Pair them with skinny jeans and a chunky sweater for a cozy look, or wear them with a flowy dress for something more playful and fun.
Honestly, they go with almost anything, and they’ll make your shoes a conversation starter!
This DIY project is easy and a great way to breathe new life into an old pair of loafers. So go ahead, give it a try, and let your creativity run wild. You’ll have so much fun making them and wearing them, too.
