Maline Pom Pom
DESCRIPTION
Maline Pom Pom can be made larger or smaller by adjusting the size of the circle pattern used to cut maline circles. Pattern given in book for maline pom pom is an 8" circle and makes a large maline pom pom.
MATERIAL REQUIRED TO MAKE MALINE POM POM
- Four yards of maline in one color
- Two yards of each color if two colors are used.
FOLDING AND CUTTING MALINE
(Illus. 1) Open maline to full width and fold maline over 8" and continue
folding maline over and over every 8" until entire piece of maline has been
folded.
(Illus. 2) Place circle pattern on maline and cut around circle pattern through
all thicknesses of maline. Repeat across width of folded maline, cutting out
maline circles through all thicknesses until entire piece of folded maline
has been cut in circles.
FOLDING AND SEWING POM POM
(Illus. 3) Pin two maline circles together, fold circles in half and then
fold circles in quarters and pin. Repeat until all maline circles have been
folded, and pinned.
(Illus. 4) Sew maline folded circles together (alternating a closed side of
folded maline circle and an open side of folded maline circle) on point until
all maline circles have been sewn to Pom Pom.
USING TWO COLORS IN POM POM
(Illus. 5) Open each piece of colored maline to full width, and put both pieces
of maline together.
(Illus. 6) Fold maline back and forth every eight inches, instead of over
and over as when making Pom Pom of one color maline.
Cut out maline circles the same as above.
When folding maline circles, have one circle of each color together, then fold and proceed as above.
