Trebles(Star Trek reference) or Pom Poms with eyes

My Grandmother taught me many years ago how to make pom poms. Unfortunetly I forgot how and just recently I watched a couple of YouTube videos to refresh my memory. I've been thinking for a while that if I was ever able to make a pom pom again I would put eyes on it so guess what I did last week =) I made in total 4 trebles 2 little purple ones, one big purple one, and the original big grey one.


All I needed was any piece of cardboard, scissors, the color yarn I want, and safety eyes (I used 24mm for my 2 bigger trebles/pom poms). After I had made the pom poms I simply cut a long length of string that can tie around the pom pom and some, then closed the safety eyes and tied them to the string them positioned them and tied the sting around the pom pom. Then you can just move the yarn ends that got caught under the  other string and then you have a treble =) 







This is a picture of the large purple treble with her new owner, a friend of mine from the play.
