Pom Pom Bookmark

Ok I know it's pom poms AGAIN so it doesn't count as a new skill.... but I got new pom pom makers and I HAD to use them!

PLUS it is a new project so it counts as new learning! 

It's super easy to make your Pom Pom Bookmark and this great tutorial from Design Mom shows you exactly how to make one. I changed mine up a little bit by making a plaited tail. I simply tied an extra bit of string to the knot in the middle of the pom pom and then plaited all three bits of string together. 

If you don't know how to plait then here's three ways from WikiHow. 

Looking forward to seeing pictures of all of your pom pom bookmarks!

For the wonderful Annabel

My amazing friend Annabel is currently going through a course of chemotherapy treatment which she is being super brave and open about. She is blogging about her experience and you can read about  it here. She has also asked her friends to complete a serious of challenges to keep her uplifted during the course of this treatment which will last until Christmas. It's such a wonderful idea and I hope it really does help her through this difficult time.

This time the challenge was to create a Christmas themed pom pom so I have created this Christmas tree and I decided to blog about it in true Annabel style.

I followed this tutorial from One Sheepish Girl but as I didn't have pom pom makers I used this hand technique for the bark of the tree and then I used a tin can for the Christmas tree, to get a bigger pom pom. I then cut out gold ribbon to make a star and sewed all the bits together.

Annabel you are an incredible woman and I am with you all the way as you go through this difficult time. Huge love! xxxx
