How to make a pompom out of fur? Description of the work process
- From cardboard, follow the pattern. To do this, draw a circle with a compass and cut it out. You can simply circle any round object: saucer, plate, cup. The larger the template, the larger and larger the pompom will be.
- Put a piece of fur on the table with the wrong side up. Circle the pattern and cut the round workpiece. Perform this procedure with a clerical knife. Scissors are not recommended to be used, as they can damage the fur villi.
- Overcast the edge of the workpiece with a seam “over the edge”.
- Sew the product all over the circle with stitches and, without tearing the thread, set the work aside.
- Form a ball from the filler, tie it with braid and put it on the middle of the round part made of fur.
- Pull the thread to form a pompom. Carrying out this manipulation, make sure that the filler remains in the middle of the product, and the ends of the braid are outside. With their help, in the future you will fasten the pompom to the cap.
- Tie the ends of the threads to a knot. If the fur is very dense, and after tightening the hole still remains in the product, sew it with a thread.
