1. Open one side of the pom pom machine. Wrap wire around the two C-shaped pieces a few times, until they are well covered. Then close this side of the tool and repeat the process on the other side. Use the small, sharp scissors to cut the coiled wire on both sides. The pom pom machine has a small channel for your scissors to go through.

3. Open the C-shaped pieces of the tool, then separate the center pieces to release the pom pom. You now have a pretty, fluffy ball!

4. Following the same steps, make as many pom poms as you need for your Christmas garland.

5. Next, using the scissors, shape the pompoms to have an oval shape of an electric bulb.

Step 2: Paint the wooden coils

Use your paintbrush to paint the coils.

Materials

styrofoam crown
white muslin to wrap the crown
pom pom machine
white cotton yarn
colorful knitting yarns for pom poms
felt for flowers
ornaments: mini-trees, balls, garlands, etc.
baker's wire
hot glue
pins

Instructions

1. Start by wrapping your foam crown in strips of white fabric to prevent slipping of the thread. When finished, wrap in white thread. Glue the ends to the back side.

2. Make an assortment of felt flowers and pom poms for your decorations. You already know how to make pom poms. To make the flowers, proceed as follows:

Cut a piece of felt 3cm wide to any length (depending on the size of your flower). Fold it in half and just glue the closed edge.
Cut small slits in the folded part of the felt.
Roll up your flower, sticking it up along the way. Once the glue is dry, secure the base on a small cardboard circle.

3. So add your flowers and pom poms along the side and bottom of your wreath using pins. You can also paste them. Adhere a few mini ornaments between the flowers and pom poms for a little extra color.

Materials

white knitting yarn
cardboard pompom template
fork
black buttons - 1 x 3 cm, 6 x 1.5 cm and 2 x 0.5 cm
felt 16 x 12 cm
Red ribbon
hot glue gun and glue sticks

Instructions

1. First, use the pompom pattern to make a big ball. It will be the base of your snowman.

2. Second, use a fork to make the smallest pom pom that will act as the head of the snowman.

3. Third, thread the larger buttons on the tail of the small pompom to form the hat. Tie a knot at the end to keep buttons from slipping and to have a loop for hanging.

4. Fourth, cut slits at the end of the felt to mimic the fringes of a scarf. Put some hot glue in the middle of the folded scarf to make it less bulky.

5. Lastly, wrap the scarf around the snowman and glue it. Similarly glue the two smaller buttons on the front of the figure and it's done.

DIY penguin hanging decoration

Materials

white and black knitting yarn
black, red and orange felt
6mm black beads (or googly eyes)
scissors
glue gun

Instructions

1. First, cut a piece of white thread about 20 cm long. Slide it between your fingers as shown in the photo. Wrap white thread around your hand about 30 times. Also wrap black thread right next to it, about 40 times. Cut the ends of the wires.

Do you remember that thread you slipped through your fingers at the beginning? Wrap it around the middle and tie it off just to keep the thread together as you slide it off your fingers. Then, tie the thread as tight as possible. Cut the ends of the wire.

Make sure you are using sharp scissors. Carefully slip them into the loops and cut them around the circle. Your first pompom is ready!

2. Second, make another smaller pompom by repeating the above steps. Except this time, only wrap the thread around two of your fingers. Make 25 turns with the white thread and 40 turns with the black thread.

Give the pom poms a really nice "haircut" to make them even.

5. Fifth, fix the eyes, again using the glue gun.
