Pom Pom Flower Mother’s Day Card

How to Make

1. Take a piece of purple A4 card and fold it in half. Then cut a piece of white card to approx. 11.5 x 18.5cm and stick it to the front of the purple card.
2. Cut out three stalks from green self-adhesive felt and stick these to the front of the card then cut out two leaves and stick these either side.
3. Stick on some self-adhesive foam letters to the bottom of the card to personalise and two hearts either side.
4. To make the pom poms, download the circle template provided and cut out two from card. Ask an adult to help cut out the middle section of each circle.
5. Take a reel of wool in your chosen colour and cut this into long strands. Cut one strand to approximately 20cm and put to one side.
6. Place both of the card circles together, then wrap the wool strands through the hole, around the edge and back through the hole again, until you can’t thread any more through.
7. Carefully cut the wool through the middle of the two card circles until you have snipped the whole way across.
8. Using the 20cm piece of wool you set aside earlier, wrap this underneath one of the card circles and tie tightly with a double knot. Snip through each card circle to remove from the pom pom.
9. Trim the pom pom down using scissors until you have a full and neat looking circle. Then apply some glue to the back and stick it to the top of the felt stalk on the card. (Repeat steps 4-9 to make two more pom poms in your chosen wool colours).

Top Tip

Make sure that the pom poms aren’t too large so that the card can stand up and isn’t too heavy.
