Twigs and Twirls: Shaggy Apple Garland

We are at the final stretch.

7 more days until school starts.

Yeah me !!!

(I survived the summer at home with the 6 year old)

She likes to craft

So part of our entertainment is crafting

So yesterday was one of the lazy days of hanging out at home

in the air conditioning.

I am trying to teach her how to make pom poms.

Using my new craft toy

She is not that coordinted yet but it was worth a shot.

We made pom poms

Shaggy Pom Poms

So we made them into this.....

Made some red pom poms using cotton yarn

Added a small dowel painted brown for a stem

And used felt for a small leaf

Strung them up on some baker's twine.

And hung it up on my Back to School Mantel

It was fast and simple.

It kept the 6 year old entertained for at least 10 minutes.
