Make Your Own Pom Poms

Well if you haven't guessed or figured it out by now I'm on a pom pom kick this holiday season. Here is a quick little tutorial on how to make your own pom poms out of yarn.

I used my handy dandy Martha Stewart Circle Cutter to cut out the templates to use to make the pom pom.

Here are the simple templates you'll need to use in order to make a pom pom.

Then wrap the template all around with yarn, you'll notice that Zico Biscuit was watching this pom pom making process very intently. It was hilarious he kept trying to grab the ball of yarn and run off with it.

And voila here is your finished pom pom. There is actually two more steps I need to show you - one is cutting the yarn around the template and the other is tying all the yard with another piece of yarn. Stay tuned for an update and a flurry of pom poms to hit the scene.

Have a great weekend, whip up a pom pom or two.

Pom Pom Wreath

Well the little Pom Pom tree has a buddy now - the Pom Pom wreath, don'tcha just love it. I can't get enough of Pom Poms this year. I followed the same procedure making this wreath as a I did when making the tree - just a styrofoam wreath form, lot's of pom poms and hot glue.

How is your holiday crafting going?

The Christmas Season has Begun

A quick and crafty post of something I created over the weekend. For some reason I am all about pom poms this holiday season so I started by making a little red and white pom pom christmas tree, it was super easy all you need is a styrofoam tree form, pom poms and a hot glue gun. I decided an ornament on top of the tree was better than the original single pom pom I had on it so other than that it's all pom poms. :)

I wanted it to be mostly white with just touches of red as you can see from the pictures. Easy peasy I hope you have time to whip one up and I hope that this inspires you to get crafty this now this holiday season.
