Hello there Flamingo Toes readers!  I’m Katie from The Casual Craftlete blog.  I love to share simple and easy diy’s, crafts and recipes.  I am thrilled and honored to be here today.  Thank you for sharing your beautiful space, Bev!

Today I am super excited to share my Anthro Knock Off Pomdelion Bouquet!  I love all things Anthropologie and am inspired by so many of their pieces.  These fuzzy pom poms make me smile in anticipation of Spring.

So, I was really excited when Bev asked me to participate in her Scrap Busting Extravaganza.  I thought it was genius and also help me de-clutter my ever growing stash of craft supplies.

As I mentioned earlier I love Anthropologie!  I am on their website daily and came across a pomdelion bouquet.  I fell in love…

I saw some saffron yarn in my stash and knew I wanted to make my own.  I mean, what else I am going to use saffron yarn for?!

Here are the supplies I used:

• Saffron yarn
• Pom pom maker
• Green floral wire
• Stretchy crepe paper
• Glue gun
• Green floral tape
• Scissors

I already had all of these supplies on hand, so this was a free craft project!

Here is how I made the Pomdelion Bouquet:

First I started by making five large pom poms.  I used a pom pom maker I already had.  I used it to make some cute pom pom pens.  If you don’t have a pom pom maker, you could always look up how to diy pom poms on Pinterest.  I have seen lots of tutorials on there.

Next, I glued the pom poms to green floral wire using a hot glue gun.  Just add a dab of the hot glue to the wire and stick the wire into the center of each pom pom.  I had the floral wire left over from my paper flower centerpiece.

I wanted to add some green leaves to the pomdelion’s and found a piece of stretchy crepe paper I had left over from a craft workshop I attended last summer.  Y’all, I am telling you I am a hoarder when it comes to craft supplies and materials.  Anyway, I cut small circles and made little cuts to act as leaves.  Then I poked the wire stem through the center of each circle and taped it using the floral tape.  I found using hot glue made the paper stick a lot better too.

That’s it!  These pomdelions are really simple to make and take no time at all.  You can put them in a clear mason jar or I like mine in this chalky paint pitcher I made at Christmas time.
