"A small fluffy pom-pom is a super-cute addition to any table setting. And while craft stores sell specialty pom-pom makers, there&amp;#039;s an easy way to create them without adding yet another tool to your craft box--just use your hands.  WHAT YOU&amp;#039;LL NEED Ribbon (I used pre-wired ribbon just because it&amp;#039;s easier to cinch around a napkin) Yarn (A thick, chunky yarn gives a more modern look, and you can use less of it to achieve a full pom-pom) Thread (To attach to the pom-pom)  HOW TO MAKE THEM Step 1: Wind the yarn Start wrapping a length of yarn around the fingers of your non-dominant hand, creating a 2&amp;quot;-wide expanse of wrapped yarn. Keep winding, adding a second and third layer of yarn. Snip away the yarn &amp;quot;tail.&amp;quot;  Step 2: &amp;quot;Cast off&amp;quot; and cinch Gently pull the wrapped yarn off your hand and on to your work surface. Then, knot the wrapped yarn in the center with a small length of yarn.  Step 3: Cut through the loops Using the tip of your scissors (for precision), cut through each loop. Step 4: Shape the pom-pom The yarn will look a little shaggy at this point, so trim each end to a uniform length, creating a fluffy sphere shape. (You might need to fluff the pom-pom in your hand to help splay out the yarn into the sphere.) Step 5: Sew to the ribbon Pass a threaded needle through the center knot of the pom-pom, then stitch to your ribbon. Step 6: Tie on the ring Knot or cinch the ribbon tails around a rolled napkin to finish. This project is the brainchild of Brieanne Dyas, whose inspiring work is featured on CraftFoxes and who sells wares on her Etsy store, Dinner at Eight. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
