Quick and easy Christmas pudding Pom Poms to decorate your tree or adorn gifts with.
Here’s what you’ll need to create these Pom Poms:
- Brown wool
- White wool
- Pom Pom Maker
- Scissors
- Green felt for the holly
- Big Red button for the berries.
And here’s how to do it in 12 easy steps.
Step 1 – Brown
Fill one whole side of your pom pom maker in solid brown wool.
Step 2 – White
On the opposite side fil the a central segment of White wool.
Step 3 – Brown again
Fill in the side gaps around the white wool with brown.
Step 4 – Brown
Fill any remaining space with brown completely covering any white wool visible.
Step 5 – Cut
Cut down the center of your Pom Pom keeping the maker closed and the strands secure.
Step 6 – Tie
Take a long string of white wool and wrap it tightly into the pom pom maker splitting your pom pom in half ready to tie.
Step 7 – Tie
Tie a double of triple knot as tight as possible making sure the knot slips down inside the pom pom maker.
Step 8 – Open
Open the pom pom maker carefully.
Step 9 – Remove
Remove your pom from the maker, throw it around and don’t panic about how messy it looks! Just a couple more steps to go.
Step 10 – Haircut
Give your Pom a really good haircut to clean it up and make it tidy.
Step 11 – Holly
Embellish your Pom with a sprig of Holly. Make a small hole in the center to thread onto your Pom Pom string.
Step 12 – Button
Tie a big red button on to the top of your Pud to give the illusion of berries.
TA DA you are finished!
Well done you have completed your Pudding Pom! Now set about making lots, maybe have a food fight or learn to Juggle with them this Christmas.
Also try making smaller puddings and stringing them onto a little garland.
I do hope that you enjoyed this make, see many more in my Craft section and show me how it went with #frecklesmakes on social media.
Bye for now
