Blooming Pom Poms

I've finally got round to trying out the pom pom makers I received for my birthday. I first saw them featured on Kirsty Allsopp's Crafty Christmas programme and instantly wanted my own.

To make my pom pom flowers I chose 2 bulky yarns - lilac and cream.

By using a bulky yarn, the pom poms came together really quickly - though sharp scissors are a must!

The pom poms came out almost perfect - just a few odd strands to trim.

For the stem, I went in to the garden and found some twigs. I put a small amount of super glue on the end of each twig to secure it to the pom pom.

These are great to dress a window or even as a centre piece for your Easter table this weekend.
