POM-POM FALL TREES
Want A Happier Marriage?
Great! Grab our 7 simple steps to improve communication in your marriage (in less than 15 minutes):
Materials:
– styrofoam ball {1 per tree}
– assorted pom poms in fall colors
– stick from a real tree
– glue
– air dry clay
Step 1: Glue your stick to the styrofoam ball. Push it in and twist a bit so that the stick is firmly inserted, then add some glue to hold it in place. We used low-temp hot glue so that it dried quickly but wasn’t hot enough to burn little fingers.
Step 2: Glue pom poms around the entire ball so that it’s totally covered. Again, we used low-temp hot glue because otherwise this process would take forever. The adults put a tiny bit of hot glue on the ball, and the kids pressed a pom pom in place, then we repeated that as we worked our way around.
Step 3: Create a base for your tree using air-dry clay.
Step 4: Enjoy! Use your creations as decorations to bring a little fall color inside your home!
