Any help with sculpting a pompon?

I'm kinda struggling with this... thing. Just can't get my head around how to translate it into a sculpting form.

I wouldn't bother sculpting it, I would just build it out of hair cards

It's for printing.

Then you don't have a lot of great options, I would try sculpting it like stylized hair or fur in less of a pom pom shape.

Depending on its final use and size you could also just not sculpt it at all, leave the spot blank or make a cavity then put an actual pompom type hair tuft in there (something from a makeup kit might work?)

Even if you could sculpt it to a high fidelity (which would be difficult) I can't imagine the printer being able to handle it. Fibremesh could do it but again you probably couldn't print it.

@AtticusMars suggestion of just using a real-world prop sounds like the best solution.
