Making the Pompom

Following the instructions on the pompom maker, make sure to double wrap the yarn around each barrel.

Ps: There are plenty of ways to make pom-poms without a pompom maker! A simple Google search will reveal many different ways (e.g., using your hands, using toilet paper rolls, using a fork, etc.!)

Attaching the pompom
Using a piece of yarn, thread the tapestry needle. Weave the tapestry needle up through the inside of the boot cuff, and out the center of the top of the boot cuff.
Gently weave the tapestry needle through the center of the pompom.
Then thread the needle back through the pompom and the boot cuff.
Continue weaving up and down through the pompom and the boot cuff a couple more times to ensure it is secured. Then cut yarn and tie a knot to fasten.

Repeat for all the pompoms.
