Cutting and Assembly Directions

A. Cut fabric into long strands

1. 1. Fold fabric in half with selvages together.
   2. Bring the fold up to 1/2″ below the selvage edges.
   3. Cut in 3/8″ segments through the fold, but not through the selvages.
   4. Unfold once, cut the fabric apart between strip one and two starting from the left hand side of
      the top selvage edge.
   5. Then cut between every other strip thereafter.
   6. Return to the bottom selvage edge and starting from the left hand end, cut between every other strip.

B. Wrap fabric strips around the Pom Pom Maker as per instructions on the package. Mixing colors and values helps to give depth to the coloration of each Hydrangea Pom Pom.

C. Tie the Pom Poms off through the center using florist wire bending it as you go. Add a second stem at the base and using pliers twist the center wire and stem wire together.

D. Wrap the florist tape around the wire stem adding the hydrangea leaves as you cover the stem wire.

E. Trim pompoms using pinking shears.
