What you will need:
❄Wool
❄Scissors
❄Cardboard to make the pom-pom maker
❄A pen
❄Two circle templates, a glass and a coin will do!
1❄The first thing you are going to want to do is make your pom-pom maker, unless you already have one then skip this step! Cut out two large circular discs, using your glass templates.
2❄Draw a smaller circle in the centre of both the discs, I used a 2p coin to do this. The distance between the inner and outer circle will determine how big your pom pom will be. You're going to want to make two pom-pom makers, a bigger one and a smaller one for the ears! So use smaller circular objects to draw the circles.
3❄Cut a slit from the outer circle to the one in the middle one, cut out the smaller circle too. Cut a second slit, so you have an opening to your cardboard ring. This makes it a lot easier to wrap the wool around the cardboard.
4❄Place both of the cardboard discs together and this will be your make shift pom-pom maker.
5❄Start wrapping your wool all the way around the cardboard disc, the thicker you wrap the wool the fluffier your pom-pom will be.
7❄Make sure the wool doesn't fall out the centre!
8❄Carefully wrap a long piece of the wool between the two cardboard discs around your pom-pom and tie it as tightly as possible. Repeat these steps and make two smaller pom-poms for Mickey's ears!
9❄Once you have one big pom-pom and two smaller pom-poms, you will need to sew the smaller ones onto the bigger one. I used cotton and a sewing needle and gentlly threaded it through the pom-poms until the ears were secure on the larger one.
10❄So you can hang the bauble up, I used some cotton and threaded it through the middle of the larger pom-pom and tide it into loop and knotted it. Now you have a finished bauble!

Trying to explain in detail how I made this bauble has proven to be quite difficult but I hope it made some sense! There are a ton of tutorials on YouTube on how to make pom-poms if my instructions didn't help. If you have a go at making it, please send me pictures!
