Pomander Tutorial

You will need:

About 2 1/4 yards of quilting fabric for every two pomanders

4" foam balls

hot glue gun with glue sticks

sharpie

scissors

ribbon

push pins

can of tuna

patience

STEP 1: Draw all of the little circles and cut them out from your fabric. I used a can of tuna as my measuring device and it worked great.

STEP 2: After you have all the circles cut out, fold the circle in half and put a dot of hot glue at the bottom and fold one side into the middle.

STEP 3: After you've folded one side into the middle, but another dot of hot glue at the bottom of the part that you just folded and fold the remaining part of the circle onto the folded section.

STEP 4: Poke a hole into the foam with your scissors, shoot some hot glue into it and stick the end of the fabric flower that you've just made into the hole. Do this around the circumference around the foam ball.

Tip: Don't worry about trying to fill in all the space at first. Go loose with your placement. You'll fill in all the holes later.

STEP 5: After you've made a circle around the circumference, fill in one side. Don't worry about making them in lines, filling randomly is better.

STEP 6: Before you fill in the other side, you'll want to secure your ribbon. I measured mine from my fingertips down the length of my arm. Then I put the pin through the ribbon, lined the pin with hot glue and stuck it in the foam.

STEP 7: Fill in the remaining side
