HOW TO MAKE A TASSEL
Cut ten 5″ lengths and one 20″ length of embroidery floss. Fold 5″ lengths of floss in half. Make a small loop on one end of 20″ length of floss. Refer to Fig. 14 to wrap 20″ length of floss around folded 5″ lengths several times, covering almost all of the loop. Thread end of 20″ length through loop (Fig. 15). Pull other end of 20″ length until loop disappears under wrapped area (Fig. 16). Trim end at top close to wrapped area.

HOW TO MAKE A POM-POM
To make a pam-pam, cut two cardboard circles, each 2″ in diameter. Cut a center hole about 1/2″ in diameter in each circle. Thread needle with doubled 72″ length of yarn. Holding circles together, pass needle through center hole, over outside edge and through center again (Fig. 17) until entire circle
is covered. You will need to use approximately 5 lengths of yarn to complete pam-pam. With very sharp scissors, cut yarn between the edges of the two cardboard circles (Fig. 18). Using a doubled 24″ length of yarn, slip yarn between cardboard circles, pull tightly and tie very firmly around center
of pam-pam. Remove cardboard circles, cutting away if necessary. Fluff pom-pom by rolling between your hands.
Trim pam-pam evenly.
