Gribbon

A gribbon is a small, fluffy, and often brightly colored decorative item, typically made of synthetic fibers such as acrylic or polyester. Gribbons are primarily used for embellishment on clothing, crafts, and household decorations. They are often circular or spherical in shape, resembling small pom-poms, but can also be found in other geometric forms or stylized designs.

Gribbons are commercially manufactured using specialized machinery that wraps and secures fibers together. They are commonly available in a wide range of sizes, colors, and textures, including solid colors, variegated shades, and metallic finishes. The density and fluffiness of a gribbon can vary depending on the materials used and the manufacturing process.

Due to their ease of application and versatility, gribbons are popular in children's crafts, costume design, and DIY projects. They are typically attached using glue, thread, or other adhesives. The term "gribbon" is sometimes used interchangeably with "pom-pom," although "pom-pom" may refer to a broader category of similar decorative items made from a variety of materials, including yarn and feathers.
