Materials: Red Heart
Soft yarn in Berry, sticks; cardboard, scissors, ruler, glue, round objects to trace
Cost: $4.99 (for 4+ flowers)
I have not been sewing much lately, but I have been hard at work on my
new apartment, and that means lots of DIY! I almost exclusively rely on
Pinterest to find and keep track of my inspiration, so when
Young House Love announced their
Summer Pinterest Challenge, I knew I had to show off what I've been up to.
In this case, I tried out these pom pom dandelions, which I first saw on Pinterest
here. With less than 5 bucks worth of yarn and some sticks from the park, I now have some maintenance-free flowers, which are fairing much better than my real-life herb garden. Here's the run down:

| materials |
 |
| trace |

| find the center |
 |
| trace your "donut hole" |
 |
| cut |
 |
| repeat |
 |
| cut a slit |
 |
| start wrapping |
 |
| keep going |
 |
| more! |
 |
| cut between the cardboard pieces |
 |
| tie a knot to hold it all together |
 |
| slip it off |
 |
| trim |
 |
| almost there! |
 |
| attach the stem with a dot of glue |
 |
| place in a vase |

Ah ha! This is the perfect idea for the gorgeous vase I bought from the op shop. (Only to find it leaks!) Some Pom Pom flowers will look great and don't need flowers. I hope the apartment decorating is going well.
