Take your scissors and cut all the way around the edge of the Pom Pom at the centre of the loops.
Fluff your Pom Pom up and trim the scraggly ends, ensure that you don’t over trim as you will need to shape it a little later.

How to make our popsicle stick Christmas tree ornaments.
Start by taking your popsicle sticks and cutting them to the sizes that you can see above. You’ll need two full length sticks and one stick just over half the size with the ends cut to make the tree and an end section of stick to make the trunk. Then use your paints or markers to colour in the sticks before popping them aside to try.
Once your sticks are dry take the two full length ones and glue them together in a point, glue the shorter stick across the bottom to make the triangle shape of the trees and then finally add the final stick at the bottom to make the trunk.
Next decorate your popsicle tree ornament, we used colourful Pom Poms to make baubles but you can use anything that you like!
Cut out a glittery star for the top of the tree and stick it down in place
Finally tie a length of your festive ribbon into a loop and glue it down on the back of your ornament so that it can be hung on the tree. Once dry your ornament is ready to display! Aren’t these just the sweetest?

Take your small pom pom (which will be the spiders head) and use a small blob of glue to attach it to the larger pom pom which will be the spider’s body.
Glue your pipe cleaners centrally across the underside of the spiders belly so that you have 4 legs sticking out each side.
Attach two eyes to the front of your spiders face and optionally add any details such as fangs on a mouth.
Finally bend the pipe cleaners upwards and then outwards to create the shape of the spiders legs. Aren’t these little Pom Pom spiders adorable? We added some stretchy elastic to the back of ours to make a web for the kids to bounce him up and down with!
