DIY: Pom Pom Shorts

I've been bitten by the bug.

The pom pom bug.

Pom Poms are EVERYWHERE,

and I adore them on EVERYTHING!

Shorts, dresses, shirts, hats, blankets, pillows, placemats.

You name it, and I will take it pom-pommed.

But, you know what I don't adore?

The skyrocketing price tags on all these 

 fuzzy-balled hems.

I mean, seriously, it is just a little extra (albeit adorable) fabric.

How can it inflate the price so much?

So, I decided to buy some pom pom trim,

and pommify some shorts myself. 

I bought these shorts from the clearance section of Piperlime.

I think they were an additional percentage off,

because I know I didn't spend $30 on them

but I forget how much I spent exactly.

I promise it was cheap.

I got the pom pom trim from Hobby Lobby for under $3.00,

and I already owned the E-6000 (aka the best glue in the world).

I simply glued the trim along the hemline of the shorts 

and used a small binder clip as a clamp to hold it in place while drying.

Voila!

There you have it,

my new pom pom shorts!
