2014 - Garlands, Garlands, Garlands - Part 2

Project #3 - It's soooooo fluffy!!!!!!!  White Yarn Pom-poms

They are like a cross between snowflakes and snowballs and they won't melt. And you can use all kinds of different white yarn.  And of course we can string them together with some red and white baker's twine to make a garland.

Plus once you learn how to do it, making yarn pom-poms is fun for all kinds of projects.

This video below has been me all week.  Well first part is really my youngest son - but the rest is definitely me.

Or you can make a bucket full and use them for indoor snowball fights:

Or just make a few smaller ones to hang on the tree:

And then there's this variation with.......

Project #3.1  - Pom-pom and Paper Straw Garland

This is super fun and easy.  HINT:  great craft to do with your kids if you can trust them with a needle and thread.

Check out the picture below from the original post that inspired my attempt.  So colorful and the black and white straws do tie all those colors together.  Check out the link here:  http://www.auntpeaches.com/2013/12/pom-pom-garland.html

So what to bring:

• Sharp scissors (put your name on them).
• Material (cutter quilts, felted wool, fancy metallic papers) to share.
• Favorite sharp embroidery needle with large eye.
• Some chip board (cereal box type cardboard) - It should be thin enough to cut or punch fairly easily.  And I love you all, but don't bring me all your recycling.
• Something to keep your projects in------- like a copy paper box lid, shoe box, or something.
• Leftover white yarn to share.  Or if you want a different color of yarn pom-pom - bring the yarn.

One more post still to come.  Ready to get your craft on?????
