You will need ...
- a few balls of wool
- thick cardboard
- scissors
- a stick from the garden
- some ribbon or string
How To Make It
- Cut your cardboard into a rectangle shape as shown.
- Tie your wool around the cardboard.
- Wrap the wool around and around the cardboard until you have a very thick layer.
- Tie a long length of yarn around the middle, very tightly. Tie it a couple more times to secure the middle of your pompom.
- Slide the unfinished pompom off the cardboard carefully. Knot once more in the middle to keep things snug.
- Snip the pompom loops to make a fluffy pompom.
- Make a couple more, making sure to leave a long length of yarn on each one for hanging later.
- Tie the pompoms to your stick. Tie a length of ribbon to each end to make your hanger.
- Hang it up and feel proud!
