I think it has a really great vintagey baseball feel when it’s put in the room with everything else.. Of course, that’s a lot of fabric, so I still needed to get a little bit of help getting it all measured and cut, because that required bending over.
First of all, they’re so easy that I didn’t even make these this time.I let Kennedy do all the work and take all the credit and I just snapped some pictures while we did a little back deck crafting.
So that’s saying something!.Here’s how it goes!.All you need is some basic tissue paper (like from the gift wrapping department), some scissors, and some kind of string or bendable wire.. To make a large pompom, use 6-10 sheets full-size sheets, to make smaller pompoms, cut the sheets in half and use 6-10 half-sheets.. Stack your sheets and fold them accordion-style, making your pleats about 1.5 inches wide..
When you’re done, it will look like this:.Perfection not required!.
Next you’ll tie your string around the middle of the accordion.. You’ll feel like you should tie it really tightly, but don’t.
The looser the string is, the easier it will be to fluff up your pompom later.. Next, take your scissors and trim the ends of your accordion.Nothing new there..
This time we’re going to visit the mudroom off the front kitchen entrance.. Let’s get to it!.I started out a couple of weeks ago by painting the ugly glossy forest green door this fun barn red and from there I was pretty much unstoppable, as I’m sure you’ll be able to tell..
The sugar beet field near our house was harvested last week and they knocked over a bunch of neighboring corn stalks in the process.Of course we were all over that..
