• Faux fur
• Tapestry needle (or upholstery needle)
• Scissors
• Yarn or crochet thread
• Polyfil
• Thick white yarn
• Thick red yarn
• Wire
• Hot glue gun

• Lay out the fabric faux fur side down and draw a circle, you can do this with a compass or a circular object like a bowl
• Cut the circle out
• Create a running stitch about 1/4 inch from the edge all around the circle
• Once you get to the end of the circle, start to pull the yarn so that the fabric starts to bunch together and creates a little pocket to add the poly-fil
• Add some of the poly-fil to the pom-pom until it’s full and then all the yarn tighter until the hole is closed
• Then close the hole all the way and make a knot and weave your thread a few times through
• Leave some of the thread out to tie into the garland
• Repeat until you have enough pom-poms for the length of your garland

• Lay out the white yarn long onto a table without cutting it from the rest
• Repeat with the red
• You’re going to add a line of hot glue along the center of the white yarn & place the wire on top
• Press the yarn around it to secure it in. It’s almost like sandwiching the wire into the center of the yarn.
• Repeat with the red
• Place the red yarn on top of the white and twist them together, the wire should help with the twisting
• Add a dot of hot glue throughout the twisting to secure the two lines together
• Keep going until the full length is twisted together
• Add the pom poms onto the yarn by tying them with the excess thread
• Hang as desired
