LEFTOVER YARN PROJECT (NEW) POMPOMS

Cut strips of yarn and tie them together in the center with a piece of yarn, or a "twist tie."  What will this be??
A POMPOM  to cheer on your favorite team, a pin to wear to your games (glue a pin on back, you can get them @ craft stores),  tie to your shoelaces, a small toy or gift for nursing homes; glue "eyes" on it and make a little critter friend!
SAVE ALL SCRAPS OF YARN because you will need them for projects!
IDEAS:  Fringes on scarves, scrappy scarf (see my blog post), "hair" for a doll.  Some will be long enough to crochet into a bracelet or ring.  You can string yarn through homemade books made from greeting cards.  Make a fringe "banner"  for your next party.  They can be made into "wall art."
