Tutorial {pom pom flowers}

****LET ME START BY SAYING I DID NOT MAKE THIS UP****

I can't remember where I saw pom pom flowers first - but I had always wanted to make them. I got a little addicted to making these pom poms after buying a pom pom maker. I made them all, then just looked at the pretty little things and thought "what I am I going to do with these?" So I remember seeing pom pom flowers once and thought I would try it for myself.

So here goes my first tutorial - hope you enjoy it!

Items needed:

1. Clover Pom Pom Maker found at any craft store such as Joanns, Michaels or Hobby Lobby

2. any yarn, any color - your choice

3. your trusty glue gun

4. sticks of your choice

I chose bamboo rods that I happened to already have in my house

Step By Step

1. Make all your pom poms first -

here is a great online tutorial for making pom poms with the Clover Pom Pom Maker

I made several different sizes - many different colors.

2. Dab your hot glue on the tip of the stick and gently place the pom pom onto the stick

(make sure the stick goes to the center of the pom pom).

Hold in place for a few seconds so you can make sure it is attached.

3. Repeat for all pom poms

4. After all pom poms are attached arrange your pom pom flowers in your favorite vase.

I broke the sticks to different lengths -

but honestly you can arrange then however it makes you happy.

Hope you have fun with this - I would love to see your arrangements - so email me at tobi@iveyhandcrafted.com with photos!
