Here's some fun news..... Did you know that you can make newspaper pom-poms with the PattieWack™ Pom-Pom Maker?
All you need is a newspaper, scissors, and chenille stems (aka pipe cleaners) and heavy wire or a dowel rod. Simply cut 1/4" strips of newspaper lengthwise. It won't take much for each pom-pom. Then wind the strips around the pom-pom maker at the 3" section of the large tool. Bind the center with a chenille stem. Cut both sides of the pom-pom to release it from the tool. Fluff it out, and attach it to a dowel rod or heavy wire to make the stem.
Easy-peasy!
