I have just got back from Tasmania . I made this Pom Pom mobile in Tassie for my Dad's work.
It is going to be FAMOUS in a movie called "THE HUNTER"
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.
THINGS I LIKED ABOUT TASMANIA
Spitting Lamas
The fire
Flying with my sister as an unaccompanied minor and getting smarties
Having a yellow bath
Making things and drawing
Hot chocolates
Toasted marshmallows by the fire
Exploring
Laughing lots
Seeing Alannah Hill and Edward
THINGS I DON'T LIKE ABOUT TASMANIA
everyone had to work
craft fair was boring
2 splinters in one day
Missing out on dressing up for Halloween
Smelly cigarettes
I wish I had a mobile like that - I love pom poms!
ReplyDeletehave you ever tried making them out of scraps of vintage fabric?
Hi Ivy i'd just like to say the lama is a little upset tonight. He pulled me aside on the home to explaine that he's actually an alpaca and his spitting is really just an expression of love
ReplyDeleteHi Ivy
ReplyDeleteLove the pom poms too! I wonder if Charlie can make one?
How come your bath was yellow?
Tasmania is cool - did you go to the Salamanca markets?
I bought Max a puzzle there with pieces in the shape of M A X
Love to your mum
