Directions:

Pompoms:

1. Use a pom maker or make them as I stated above by wrapping around 3 of your fingers 40 times.

2. I made 20+ poms. I honestly did not count mine. I just made and added them to my cone as I went along.

Assembly:

1. I used craft glue to attach the poms to the cone. I then used stick pins to secure them until the glue set up.
