Pom Poms are one of those creations we learn as children. Even the name itself conjures up creative fun. How fabulous then, as adults to use this simple craft and create wonderful decorations with which to decorate our homes for that special time of year.33 projects in the colours of Christmas are showcased beautifully in this wonderful book. Robins, Reindeer and of course Father Christmas are simply put together, using different sized Pom Poms. There are other Pom Pom creations to make and enjoy, such as Table decorations, Tote bags and even a Teddy Bear, these can all be given as gifts for your friends and family to love and enjoy. In full glossy colour this is an amazing book. Full instructions for each project, along with a list of things you will need are given, and the full sized templates makes this an easy and fun craft for the whole family to enjoy.The Pom Poms needed range from 1' to 4 1/2'. so are small enough to create in an afternoon. I love this book. It's original, creative and so much fun.
