Cut
two pieces of cardboard into circles then cut a circle out the middle
like a doughnut. Place the two bits of card together and wrap wool
round and round and round until the rings are full up. Snip the wool
all the way around the outside edge, between the middle of the two
pieces of card. Double up a separate piece of wool or string and looping
it between the centre of the pieces of card pull it very tight around
all the pieces of wool, effectively holding them all very tight between
the two bits of cardboard. Leave the tightening string long enough
for you to use it to attach or hang the completed Pom Pom ball. Finally
slide off the two bits of cardboard and ruffle the wool into a nice
ball shape. Trim any stragglers with the scissors.
Hints:
Use
different pieces of coloured wool to form a multi coloured ball. Also
used as the "Bobble" in "Bobble" hats. Great for
indoor ball games!
