wrap around skirt

I made this skirt from my Grandmother " Ju Ju's " old skirt. I first cut the skirt in half and then sewed two ribbons so they would wrap around.

Look Mister Woof wears Chanel.

Pom Pom mobile

I have just got back from Tasmania . I made this Pom Pom mobile in Tassie for my Dad's work.

How to make a POM POM mobile

You will need.

1. 2 pieces of cardboard

2. Wool

3. Stick

4. Scissors

1. Cut the 2 pieces cardboard into a circle and then draw a little circle in middle.  

2. Then cut out the little circle.You should have 2 circles with holes in them

3. Put both pieces of cardboard together and wrap the wool around the whole of  them going through the small hole in middle. This will join them together.

4. When your circle is full . Cut around the outside of the outside of circle. Try not to drop it.

5. Then cut some wool to wrap around inside the 2 pieces of the cardboard. Pull the  wool really tight and tie a knot.

6.  Take off both pieces of cardboard and now you have your first POM POM

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR MOBILE INTO  ANY DESIGN  AND YOU CAN MAKE AS MANY POM POMS AS YOU LIKE.

you will need

wool 8 ply6

any crochet hook

First you do a 8 chain , then you do a treble stitch, and if you want to do petals you do 6 chain.

If  you want do a little flower inside ( like mine)
