When you think of yarn pom poms you usually think of ponchos and knit beanie toppers. I think pom poms have been given a bad rap. Rethink the pom pom and use them on a variety of crafts. Here’s what I did with my yarn pom poms.
A pom pom topiary.
And a pom pom cotton plant.
You can find a tutorial on how to make pom poms
here.
So dig out that box of leftover yarn because yesterday’s beanie topper is today’s fun craft.
These are really lovely and such a wonderfully clever idea!! Can you tell me how to make a pom-pom???

ReplyDeleteI'm loving pom poms for crafting too, and your cotton and topiary are wonderful, thanks so much for sharing this and the wonderful fabric acorn on Craft Schooling Sunday, great to have you!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I can't wait to make some :) Thanks so much for linking to my pompom tutorial too!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! :) Off to click on follow on GFC and browse around! :)
ReplyDeleteYour cotton plant is just adorable, do you have a pattern for the bottom part? Also, I tried to get the pom pom pattern & link seems to be gone.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Thanks everyone for your comments. The link to the pom pom tutorial has been fixed - see above in the post.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a pattern for the bottom of the plant. I glued the pom pom to a twig, added a tiny bit of moss and cut leaves out of brown fabric.
I'm so glad you all like it.
Great flowers!
