It's Thursday and we're in market prep mode.
It's been a little while since we've done a market and I must say this before part, where we're talking about what to sell and how to make it look pretty, is a lot of fun.
This afternoon we've been pom-pom bombing copies of my book. It's been a lovely indoorsy thing to do on this freezing cold summer's day and I think they look super cute too.
In fact I thought you might like to make some of your own.
Here's how we did it;
Gather
your prezzie
plain wrapping paper
sticky tape
wool
scissors
a pom-pom maker/cardboard ring
First wrap your prezzie in plain paper.
Then tie some wool around your package a few times.
Use your preferred pom-pom making method to make three different sized pom-poms. Or two of the same and one different. Or all the same. Whatever you like.
Fluff your pom-poms out and give them a little hair cut if you need to to neaten them up BUT leave the two strings you used to tie them up long.
Tie one pom-pom at a time to the middle of the present using the long strings you left on your pom-pom. After you have tied them up, you can trim them off too.
You are done! Simple pimple, right.
Sit back and enjoy your pretty pom-pommed prezzies.
Oh and instagram them too. Of course. They look so pretty, how could you resist?
Let me know if you make some, I'd love to see.
You can buy these ones we wrapped with a bonus book inside at The Dumbo Feather Christmas Fete this Saturday from 8am-1pm. Yay!
And I am super thrilled to be linking up with amazing Kirsty again at my fave meme My Creative Space.
Happy making!
Lotsa love.
