Pompom
Colour: White
Make a mini pompom by
winding White yarn around
your two fingers several
times. Thread a separate
piece of yarn through your
two fingers and tie around
the wrapped yarn, tie in a
double knot tight to secure
and trim the pompom with
sharp scissors until its round
and neat.
Attach the pompom to the top
of the hat by sewing or gluing
in place.
Attach 15cm of Butchers
twine to the top of Father
Christmas’ hat and tie in a
knot to secure, this forms the
hanging loop.
