When it comes to crafting satisfaction, fuzzy, fluffy pompoms are off the charts. Join Locally Crafted Workshop co-owner Becky Sher to learn the basics of creating pompoms and tassels with yarn, and make a custom garland for Valentine’s Day or any time. This is a super-versatile craft, because pompoms and tassels make the perfect addition to just about anything. If you’re a knitter or crocheter who has never made a pompom, this is your chance to learn. They’re inexpensive, quick and easy enough for even kids to make.
In this workshop, you will:
Learn different methods of making pompoms and tassels, and discover the best tools to produce perfect poms.
Experiment with various yarns to produce different types of pompoms.
Create a pompom garland in your custom colors — make it for Valentine’s Day, or choose colors that match your everyday decor. Or create a festive garland for the winter holidays or birthday celebrations.
Incorporate embellishments like beads in your finished garland.
If there’s time, create a small ornament/dangle that can decorate a cabinet knob, become a bag charm or hang from the side of a picture frame.
All materials are provided, but if you have a good pair of sharp scissors, bring it along!
Crafters 8 and up are welcome, but anyone under 12 must have an adult crafting with them. All participants must purchase a ticket.
