Pom Poms are one of those creations we learn as children. Even the name itself conjures up creative fun. How fabulous then, as adults to use this simple craft and create wonderful decorations with which to decorate our homes for that special time of year. 33 projects in the colours of Christmas are showcased beautifully in this wonderful book. Robins, Reindeer and of course Father Christmas are simply put together, using different sized Pom Poms. There are other Pom Pom creations to make and enjoy, such as Table decorations, Tote bags and even a Teddy Bear, these can all be given as gifts for your friends and family to love and enjoy. In full glossy colour this is an amazing book. Full instructions for each project, along with a list of things you will need are given, and the full sized templates makes this an easy and fun craft for the whole family to enjoy. The Pom Poms needed range from 1' to 4 1/2'. so are small enough to create in an afternoon. I love this book. It's original, creative and so much fun. -- Tracy Shephard * Postcard Reviews * A nice book to have in the lead up to Christmas, useful for encouraging all members of the family to take part in the preparations. -- Sian Delahaye * Customer review * A nice book to have in the lead up to Christmas, useful for encouraging all members of the family to take part in the preparations. -- Mandy Thurland * Customer review * I was really pleased to receive this book having flicked through I can't wait to get started on these festive Pompoms!

There are plenty of pompom projects inside to keep me busy. The colour photographs help me to see what the finished article should look like and there are clear, easy to follow instructions. Each project has a list of materials needed to complete it. There are ideas that I would never have thought of myself. I highly recommend this book. -- Jen J English * Amazon * Pompoms are fun. And this book is a fun book for all the family. Children and adults can create pompom of various sizes and this book will give them ideas of how to use them in a variety of projects, including tree decks, wrapping ideas, a wreath and of course a Santa. The projects have clear instructions and a list of requirements. The projects are also easy to adapt to your own requirements, and even if some of the poppies created by little hands are less than perfect they will look great as a part of a wreath. A nice book to have in the lead up to Christmas, useful for encouraging all members of the family to take part in the preparations. -- Maria Crouchley * Amazon *
