DIY Pom Pom Sweater Refashion
"You’ve probably seen pom pom sweaters in crazy colors floating around Pinterest, but personally I think the look is more wearable and practical (for me) in neutral colors. This project is one of the easiest clothing refashions on Creative Fashion Blog, but also surprisingly time-consuming. For this tutorial, we’ll be hand-sewing each pom individually to the sweater so they stay intact long term. I gave myself about 20 minutes to make this sweater and ended up needing about an hour and a half. That’s OK though, because it turned out great and could still be done in an afternoon."

Instructions
-
Thread your Hand Needle in your black thread and tie a knot at the end so it doesn’t slip through your pom pom. I liked to tie mine at least twice so my poms were secure.
-
Stick your needle through the center, most dense area of your pom and pull your thread through.
-
Once your Pom is threaded, slide your needle through the top of your sweater and out the other side and pull the extra thread through.
-
From the inside of the sweater, push your hand needle back through the top and be sure it pushes through another section of your pom pom.
-
Repeat step 3 and 4 twice for each pom before knotting and cutting the extra thread.
-
Keep adding poms until you like the overall look!
