Pom Pom Flowers

These are such a fun and easy way to add some color to your decor without having to worry about keeping plants alive or buying flowers.  I love how simple they are to make and how cute they are!

How to make them:

I found some yarn around the house and some sticks from my parent's yard.  

I started to create pom poms with the yarn. 

 I wrap the yarn around my pointer and middle finger on my left hand many, many times.  Then take a different (short-6 inch) piece of yarn and push it through the base of your fingers and top of your fingers (going around both sides of the yarn). Tie that yarn so that it kind of makes the yarn look like a bow tie.  Then cut both sides and fluff your pom pom.  If my directions don't make a ton of sense... here's some directions- http://knitting.about.com/od/learntoknit/ss/pom_poms_2.htm

Take your stick and put a bit of hot glue on the end and push it into the middle of your pom pom.

Create a bouquet or a few flowers.
