Today, I thought I would share two really neat projects with you from the February 2011 edition of "County Living!"
The first project involves making these really cute "pom-pom" flowers and attaching a stem with glue; you add them to a vase or a bottle (as shown below), or create a bouquet using your preferred shades of yarn.
The article suggests buying a device with which to make the pom-poms, but as a kid, we used to make them using our hands. We wound the yarn around one hand and once we got the thickness we desired (the more yarn you wind around your hand, the larger and thicker the pom-pom will be), we took the yarn "circle" off our hand, tied it in the center, and cut the ends where they curved. We then fluffed it out, and we had a pom-pom.

The next project involves a copy of a photo of your choice, black thread, watercolor paper, a frame, tape, and a needle. The detailed instructions are found below, on the photograph.

Remember to double-click on the photos to make them larger, for easier reading. I hope these two projects inspire you...I know they did me!
Peace and Hugs,
