Projects — mini pompom

I have just been dying to make a frame with pompoms, and when I saw this adorable canvas quote art in the Michael's store, that was it.  I grabbed it up the minute I saw it.  Plus, my daughter Tricia always signs her cards with "Forever and Always" so it was the perfect gift for her new home in Iowa.  When you make this pompom frame, just know that the Aleene's® Super Fabric Adhesive™ is truly one of my favorite glues, and it has been for a very long time.  I always keep it in my designer tote when I go to...

This adorable little felt banner at Michael's store was just sitting on a shelf waiting for me last week and I grabbed it up immediately.  (Click here for a link to the banner)  I didn't know where I was going to put it, but it didn't matter at the moment because I was in love!  I mean, it is such a great color combo, it's that rich thick wooly felt, and such a cute size, I knew I could find a place for it somewhere. Here's all you need: I wasted no time getting to my yarn stash to make the...

It's seriously enough to make you pop a cork, right?  Then you'll just have to decorate that cork with a raffia pom-pom.  The cool thing about the PattieWack™ Makers, is you can wind just about anything around the tools, like RAFFIA to make a pom-pom.  So, to make your pom-pom corks, wind raffia around the PattieWack™ Mini Pom-Pom Maker at the 5th section to make a 2-1/2" pom-pom.  Tie the center with raffia, or better yet, use heavy wire.  Cut the sides of the pom-pom to release.  Poke the wire into a cork and it's ready to pop back into...

You can make just about ANYTHING if you have the right tools, including this beautiful boho bracelet if you have the PattieWack™Tassel and Pom-Pom Makers.For this bracelet, just grab your PattieWack™ Mini Pom-Pom Maker and 3 colors of embroidery floss.  Wind floss around the tool on the third tier to make a 1-1/2" pom-pom.  Tie it in the middle, then cut the sides to release.  Trim it up and tie it to your favorite boho-style bracelet.  Add two more, and you've got a pretty addition to that t-shirt and jeans or shorts for the perfect summer outfit.Oh, and if you're...

Happy Easter Everyone!   You can put pretty pompoms on a stick and poke them into anything today to add a little fun to your Easter festivities!   Just grab your large Pattiewack Pom-Pom Maker and wind yarn onto the second step of the tool to make 2" pompoms.  Next glue them onto the end of bamboo skewers.     Presto!  You've got instant pompom fun.   Have a blessed an happy day!

How fun is this?   Covered hangers with pompoms are so simple,  yet really functional.     Wind yarn around the third section of the  PattieWack™ Pom-Pom Maker until it's nice and full.   Tie it as tightly as possible in the center  with another length of yarn.   Pull the tied yarn toward the point of the tool  to loosen the yarn slightly,  then cut the loops on both sides to release the pompom.   Now, trim the pompom and tie it to a fabric covered hanger.   Super cute!
