To start your pompon project, use the two small pompon makers from the set. Each pompon maker consists of two parts that are clicked together. This gives you two semicircles that are connected to each other and that you can close or open as you wish. Wrap your desired wool around one half of the template, starting from the centre of the template. Then repeat this with the other half of the template. Then close the two halves of the stencil together again to form a ring. Cut the wrapped wool along the outside of the template. Pull a ribbon between the two halves of the pompom and tie them firmly together. The pompom maker can now be opened. Remove the finished pompoms and cut them into shape with scissors.
Now it's time to get creative: glue the finished pompoms together to create the perfect flower shape. You can experiment with different sizes and colours to create an individual look. To create the flower stem, attach florist's wire to the underside of the pompoms flower. Apply a dot of hot glue to the area where the wire is to be attached to ensure a secure hold. For extra stability, you can apply some more glue around the wire. The next step is to shape the flower stem. Use pliers to shape the wire into decorative leaves by carefully bending it and moulding it into the desired shape. This will give your pompoms flowers a realistic look.
When the pompoms are ready, it's time to prepare the vase. Pour the vase material according to the enclosed pack instructions. After about two hours, you can carefully demould the vase and allow it to air dry completely to ensure its stability.
Finally, arrange the homemade pompoms in the finished vase. Place them wherever you like to give your room an individual and cheerful decorative accent.
