Anya, from Fife, Scotland, shares her craft. It goes against the throwaway society and embraces upcycling. Let’s have a look…
What did you do?
Scrap fabric pom poms. Cut strips of fabric (min. 15cm x 1cm, tied end-to-end) from old pants, socks, men’s shirts, stained baby vests and bibs, jeans – items you can’t pass on or use for anything else. Pom poms are a fun alternative to bunting, make long-lasting ‘cut flowers’ (pop on top of a stick), or you can play with them like a koosh ball (remember those?) Two main ways of making them – as pictured.
Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…
