(Sneak Peek) Pom Pom Party! - First Series

I have gotten enough crafts together to create my own mini series:

There are so many great crafts, especially for kids, that can be made from these fuzzy little balls!

I hope to start as soon as I can (after all, this is a Sneak Peek!)

If you would like to do a guest post in this series, please email me at

Keep checking back this week for the first post!

'Hairy' Yarn Cuff

This project was just an experiment. But once I started wrapping the yarn around the cuff, I knew I was on to something! Let's get started...

Supplies:

"hairy" yarn

used ribbon spools

Embellishments (if you want to add some rhinestones or something)

scissors

just a bit of glue (Elmer's)

 Start with a ribbon spool (use one that's bigger than your arm)

 Now rip off the cardboard covers. Sometimes the bottom one can be a bit difficult.

Now cut some yarn. I guessed and around five feet worked just fine.

 Start wrapping the cuff with the yarn.

 It takes a little while, but the 'hair' covers more than you think.

Now make a knot and add a little dot of glue on it, so it won't untie.

You're done!

 I had a little fun with photography above. ;)

New Look

I finally added a new look to A Creative Cookie!

I love the bright colors and the design. 

Along with my new colors and theme, I now have a new tutorials page that lays out all my past projects!

I can't wait to start making some buttons for this blog (something I have yet to learn). If anyone has any tips, I'm open to them!

Also, head on over to Project Run and Play! Some of my favorite blogs are participating.

Have a great new year! Everything's starting up again, and its getting wild!
