Party day card



I have a fun technique that I would like to share with you.

How to make mini pom poms:

Take your twine and wrap it around a fork (about 20 times) leaving both ends of the twine loose.

Bring both ends of the twine up through the middle tongs of the fork, gather together tightly and tie.

Gently remove twine from fork, and with your scissors cut looped ends. Cut middle tie the same length as ends, and fluff.

supplies:
Epiphany Crafts: round 14 shape studio tool, round 14 bubblecaps, round 14 vintage settings - cabana, pennant 25 shape studio tool
The Twinery: blossom twine, honeydew twine, orchid twine
Crate paper: pretty party collection, pattern paper, chipboard piece, border sticker (tickets)
Pink Paislee: collage card (spring jubilee)
mini clothespins (craft supply)
