{i had so much fun making pom poms over the break...after seeing Dana from Made's super easy tutorial on pom poms..i had to make some of my own! i took some of the yarn that has been staring at me for over two years..i know i'm embarrassed...and made some fun pom poms with it. i didn't use any cardboard or paper to wrap the yarn with, i took her advise and used my own fingers...worked just as good and you can vary the size better that way.}
{i had fun making different sizes and then trimming them. some of them i really trimmed neatly and others i kept more "shaggy". i used the small one on a gift for my aunt. i forgot to take a photo of it..oh well. it turned out pretty cute. i did make more though and did remember to take photos this time...}
{this was one of our tins that we packed with our homemade goodies. the pom poms just added the right finishing touches to the top. i used a gift tag that i had left over from the vintage paper parade
set that i won two years ago.}
{i also used the idea of adding them to boxed packages like Dana did but i decided not to wrap it. i loved the clean look of the white box. it's was so easy and added the right amount of decoration. i just finished it off with another deer tag. i have a feeling i won't be using pom poms just for Christmas gifts...it's too fun to only make once a year. wanna try making some..hop on over here. trust me..you'll want to make more than one.}

super cute! we used to make these when i was little ... for our roller skates. hahaha remember those? i love the idea of using them as a gift topper.
I *love* poms! I actually made a friend a scarf out of pom-poms last year. I wonder if I ever took a photo of it?!
i ❤ pom poms as they make me think of my grandmom! she lived with us from the time i was born until she passed away. she would knit or crochet and my sister and i would sit with her and make pom pom after pom pom. she always put them on her luggage too so that she could spot her suitcase easily when she traveled. :) i have to look at that tutorial....i always used my grandmoms plastic rings and i would love to make some now!
you should sell these!!! lazy people (like moi) would love being able to buy them instead of making them! ;)
I rally like these. Another something to add to my *projects* I will one day do.
soooo super cute! love the way it looks on the white box! those are SO FUN & would look cute any time of year, you're right. and they're "green" since they are reusable! :) bonus! so glad you found a use for that YARN! that's such a good feeling to put something to USE!
