Púffí púffí, fæ ekki nóg .....

 

Byrjum á því að búa til alveg næstum hundrað svona blóm, eða eins mörg að þarf :)

 

Svona gerirðu hvert blóm

1. Cut fabric into 3 inch squares, rounding the corners of the squares. (The fabric I chose was a sheer polyester, similar to curtain material.)  The squares don’t have to be cut perfect since they will be “scrunched” up.

2. Take one square of fabric, pinch and gather in the center. Sew a couple stitches at the bottom to hold the folds in place.

3. Add another square of fabric to the bottom and gather around the first piece of fabric, stitch together.

4. Add a third piece of fabric and secure all the layers with a few stitches, tie off with a knot.

5.  Repeat steps 2-4 a gazillion times until you have enough flowers to cover your surface area:

6. (optional) After making a gazillion flowers, realize that you still don’t enough to cover a full heart.  Make a gazillion more.

7. (optional) Pout, sulk and stomp around the house because you realize that after making another gazillion more ruffles you have run out of pink fabric and you still have a bald spot in the middle of your heart. Curse.

8. (optional) Shove project under the bed and pretend it doesn’t exist.  Redirect frustration and pick fight with innocent husband.

9. (optional) Decide will not let this project get the best of you, recover project from under the bed, cut up pink scarf made from the same pink fabric and continue making a gazillion more ruffles.

10. Stitch ruffles in place by hand on pillow top. Sew pillow cover together. 14 hours later, you are done!! Ta-da!

Pom pom æðið rúlar :))))

Pom poms úr gömlum bolum !!!! jeijjjjj

 got an old tee or two {or 20!} that you don't wear anymore? turn them into *pretty little pom poms!* they're fun and easy to make and turn out oh-so-fluffy!
 

Supplies

• t-shirts, 1 per pom pom
• scissors
• cardboard

use round objects to trace circles onto cardboard to make 2 templates like those shown above. i used a roll of tape and my camera lens cap.... the diameter of the outer circle is 6.5" and the diameter of the inner circle is 2.5".  you can play around with different template sizes to get different sized pom poms.

cut your t-shirt into 1/2" strips. i only used from the arm pits down on each shirt. .

take one strip and one template and place strips as shown close to the inner circle.

sandwich the strip by putting the other template on top.

 take a fabric strip and place on cardboard with the end even with the outer edge.

wind around the template as shown. pull the strip tightly so that it stretches the material. when you get to the end of the strip....

 take another strip and place the edge even with the outer circle like you did at the beginning. when you wind it around the first time, be sure to overlap the end of the previous strip so that it is held in place.

 continue winding the strips around the template until you reach the other side.

do 2 more layers of strips {so that you have 3 total layers}

 now take the sandwiched strip and pull tight and wrap around each other once. this will help hold things in place for the next step. 

Warning: this next step is messy. trust me.

 with one hand holding the strips in place, use scissors to cut the fabric strips along the template. i recommend sharp scissors, and preferably pointy ones. unlike mine.

 after all the strips are cut, pull the string tight and tie into a knot. remove templates.

 should look something like this.

now give your crazy ball a good hair cut! i cut two 4.5" diameter circles out, then sandwiched the ball and cut around to make a nice round pom pom. remove circles, fluff and trim as needed.
