pompoms

Sideline spirit accessories

Pompoms are fluffy spherical decorations made from gathered strands of material—typically yarn, paper, or plastic strips.

Cheerleaders wave large pompoms during routines to add visual flair.

Smaller pompoms appear as decorative accents on hats, slippers, or gift wrapping.

Also spelled pom-poms or pom pons.
