WHAT ARE YOU MAKING?


How to make a pom pom wreath.

Requires pom pom patience and some other odds and ends:
1 x circular base (in this case an empty nappy bin liner casette)
- 1 x wool needle
- 1 x sheet of thin card (cut circles to your chosen pom pom size)
- Scissors
- Wool
- Twine
- Green or other coloured tape to wrap circular object
- Ribbon or cord for hanging and bow

How to make it:
1. Make a gazillion pom poms (just when you think it is finished you find another spot to put one).
2. Wrap the circular base in your choice of tape, leave spaces to thread your twine under and between. 
3. Attach pom poms to the circular base by threading the twine of the pom pom through the gaps between your tape on the circular base. 
4. Keep making pom poms (don't give up!) and attaching them to the base and tying them to each other's twine for extra safety (and when you run out of gaps between the tape).
5. Cut off extra twine lengths dangling from attached poms.
6. Attach a ribbon or cord to the top of the base for the wreath to hang from. 
7. Attach a ribbon or embellishment at the bottom centre of the wreath if you like.
8. Hang your wreath!

Merry Christmas my friends!
