tutorial:: mini pom poms made with a fork
So, I have a fab friend coming over who is a little crazy for pom poms. I saw this tutorial for making mini pom-poms using a fork one morning when I was cruising the pages of pinterest, and knew I just had to try it out. This tutorial comes via The Baker's Twine.
Isn't that a great idea? I made mine using embroidery thread. They were super quick and you could really make them quite small. Now, what was I going to do with my pile of mini pom-poms? A-ha! Bunting! My friend was coming over for cake and a cuppa and I thought that I would sew them onto thread and make a bunting for the cake. Won't she be surprised when I walk out with this....

Wow, talk about memories, LOL...the fork method was how I was taught to make pom poms by my mom and grandma almost 60 years ago. For big fluffy ones, we would cut a piece of cardboard the size we needed from boxes we always had handy. I had pom poms on all my crocheted slippers. Mom taught me to cfochet when I was just seven and I needed lots of pom poms for my slippers and sweaters made of Crocheted Granny squares. I preffered the tiny pom poms over buttons back then, LOL. Oh my gosh, I had forgotten how much fun the three of us had making pom pom animals of all shapes and sizes for Easter Baskets. Thanks for jogging my memory. Hugs...
