i feel like a pom pom, dangling in the sky...

Jul 14, 2010

Oh, to be dangling in the sky with not a care in the world. What a life that would be right? Some people envy birds...their luminous plumes, easy glide through life, cruising high above the hardship of the world, with a first class view for free. But a pom pom. That's me. Hanging high above the most beautiful fireplaces, centered in the middle of a charming tea party, or swimming in the breeze of a peonies garden. Sometimes I feel like a pom pom...but alas, I'm just me.
DIY Pom Poms
by Dolci Odille via Dujour Magazine

Supplies:

fabric of your choice

scissors

hot glue gun

chinese lanterns

Step 1: Cut circles out of fabric.

Step 2: Fold the circle in half and put a little hot glue on the center, then fold over to secure.

Step 3: Apply more hot glue to the bottom of the folded circle.

Step 4: Press the bottom of the folded circle with the hot glue onto the chinese lantern.

Step 5: Repeat these steps until the whole lantern is covered. Once finished, attached some fabric to the metal frame of the lantern to hang.
