First I'm going to show you how to make Pom poms, that you can either use as decorations on your tree or something extra to add to the wrapping on your presents.
Firstly you need to draw to circles the same size on a piece of cardboard, then draw a smaller circle inside of those circles. The bigger the outside circle the bigger the Pom poms. Cut out the circles and the ones inside!
After you have cut the circles out place the circles on top of each other ready to start wrapping the wool around them.
Once you have done all three colours or layers, it means that it's now time to start cutting. To cut the wool you need to get the scissors in between the two bits of cardboard and then cut all the way around .Then put another bit of wool in between the two bits of cardboard and do a tight double knot at the end so it brings all the wool together to form a circle.
I used them as decoration on the plain Christmas bags to make them more exciting and I'm going to start making some plain red ones for the Christmas tree.
