    Step 1:

    Using your compass, draw a circle on cardboard with a diameter equal to the size of the pompom you want to obtain. Then draw a second, smaller circle inside.

    With your scissors, cut the outside of the large circle and the inside of the small circle to make a ring.

    Step 2:

    Repeat the same steps to make a second cardboard ring.

    Step 3:

    Take your two rings and plate them.

    Cut 2 meters of woolen thread and wrap them around the two rings to cover the entire surface.

    Tip: before you start, prepare a mini ball by wrapping your wool around a small piece of cardboard. It will then be easier to pass the wool through the hole in the rings.

    Step 4:

    Pass your scissors between the two rings and cut the woolen threads along the cardboard edges.

    Step 5:

    Once the round is finished, pass a thread of wool of about 80 cm between the two rings.

    Step 6:

    Tie a tight knot. This thread will be used to hang your pompom.

    Step 7:

    You can now remove the cardboard rings from your pompom.

    To finalize your pompom beast, all you have to do is glue two small red circles to represent its eyes.
