How to Make Pom-Pom Bouquet
What You’ll Need:
What To Do:
- Take you pom-pom maker and begin to wrap the yarn around each side. Cut the yarn in half and tie a piece of yarn it to create the pom-pom.
- Take the pom-pom off the maker and trim your pom-pom to create a fluffy and uniform pom-pom.
- Stick the skewer in the pom-pom.
- Repeat with different sizes of pom-poms and color to create a bouquet.
How to Make Sugar Scrub
What You’ll Need:
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1/2 cup of oil (coconut oil, or any kind that you prefer)
- Essential Oils
- Jars
What To Do:
- Measure out 1/2 cup of oil – if you use Coconut Oil, you will have to melt it in the microwave.
- Measure out 2 cups of sugar and mix it together with the Coconut Oil.
- Place your mixed sugar scrub into jars.
- Add essential oil to each jar (determine the number of drops based on how fragrant you would like the scrub to be. I wanted mine to be quite fragrant, so I used 5 drops in each).
How to Sew a Drawstring Bag
What You’ll Need:
- Fabric (amount will be based on the size of your bag – remember to add a 1/4 inch hem on each side of your bag – i.e. if you want your bag to measure 5in x 6 in, you will cut a piece of fabric that is 5.25 in x 12.25 in)
- Thread
- Ribbon
- Scissors
- Pins
- Safety Pin
- Sewing Machine
What To Do:
- Iron your fabric
- Cut your fabric – You will have one long piece that you will fold in half
- Folding your fabric in half, with the outside facing in, pin the two long sides
- Sew the two long sides of the drawstring bag, leaving about 1/2 in to 3/4 in not sewn at the opening of the bag where you will create the pocket for the string
- Fold the fabric that was not sewn at the opening over on each side to create a pocket
- Sew the pocket
- Attach a safety pin to the end of the ribbon and feed it through the pocket. Tie the ribbon at the end to create your drawstring.
- Fill the drawstring bag with goodies your mom will love!
