Add a cute little pom pom
Cute Little Pom Pom Instructions:
Cut out 2 circles, 2 inches in across, with a 1/2 inch hole in the center (donut style),
Out of an empty cereal box. (Yes, it has to be a cereal box)
Thread a nice long piece of yarn onto a needle, doubled.
"Sew" through the middle of the donut and around, and around and around.
Make it nice and even.
When the center is full and the cardboard is all covered up you can stop.
With a pair of scissors, reach in between the cardboard pieces and cut around the outside
With a piece of yarn, (or string if your yarn is soft), tie around the center
Between the donuts, real tight!
(I don't know about you, but all this talk of donuts is making me hungry)
Slide off the rings, and shake the daylights out of the pom pom to fluff it out.
Trim it up a little
Sew it onto the hat with the tail
