Mosaic Monday...

What do you do with a box of Pom Poms?
Why you make a Pom Pom garland, of course!  And how do you make a Pom Pom?
Why you use the Clover Pom Pom Maker, of course!  Seriously, this product is AMAZING!  I first read about the Pom Pom maker here and thought.. could it really be that easy?  Yes.. Yes it can.
First you open up one side and start wrapping yarn around..lots of yarn.
Then you open up the other side and do the same thing...lots of yarn.
Close both sides (they snap shut) and start cutting down the center.
It'll look like a yo yo right now.  Take a piece of yarn and wrap it around the center notch.
Tie a knot.. real tight.
Start peeling off the arms like your peeling an orange.
 
Finally separate the two halves and you have 1 perfect pom pom.  This is the most fun my kids have had doing one of my crafts.. not like I force them or anything.  psshh yeah right!  Here are some other great ideas that I found on Pinterest using Pom Poms for my Mosaic Monday.  Time to crack the whip.. get the yarn kids!!!

This Mosaic Monday has been linked up to Little Red House.

Enjoy!!

    I think that making pom poms like that could be addictive! I love the way the rug came out. Have a wonderful week.

    I love all your ideas...I just wish I had the time to slow down and do some of them. When does your shop open? I want to get you a mermaid.

    That's such a cute idea - and there are so many ways to use those pompoms at this fairly dull time of year.
