Pom Poms

This craft is from craftaholics anonymous.

You will need old T-Shirts. (makes about 2 medium sized pom poms) Cut them into thin strips from the shirt armpit to the bottom. Get cardboard and cut it into a circle. add a smaller circle inside and starting in the inside cut a wide V shape so that it doesn't make a full O, but it looks like a C if you turn it. Make 2 and put them on top of each other. Put one string on the inside around the circle and sandwhich it. Wrap the strips around the C overlapping. Go all the way around and back 3 times. Next is really hard so use sharp sewing scissors. Wrap the ends aroung each other twice like the beggining of tying a shoe and tape it to a hard surface. Next get the scissors and while holding it down with one hand (hold really tight) use the other hand with the scissors to cut the outside strings. I suggest cutting 1 layer at a time. Then grab the 2 strings and pull tight. (Not to tight because the shirt will rip:) take the cardboard off and fluff up the ball. The extra strip of shirt can be used to tie it to things like the rose wreath. If you have questions (and you might have a lot) post it on the comments!
