Make Abstract Art With Eggshells: Fun For All Ages!

I must admit, until I saw the beautiful fall project conceived by "that artist woman" and linked to here on Craft Schooling Sunday, I never quite understood why anyone would want to craft with eggshells. That was then, and this is now.....so let me tell you, eggshells really are a great crafting material! And in case you're sceptical, as I was, they're easy to wash and they dry quickly.  Just one word of caution: should you decide to save your eggshells, I would find a discreet place to hoard them or your friends and family may start to worry about you! And like I say from time to time, just tell them I set you up to it!

Pom pom maker

This is a tutorial for making pom-poms using your
fingers. This one is a small, two-finger pom-pom
(about 1" in diameter) but you can make bigger ones
by using more fingers. As far as yarn choice, thinner
and softer yarn will make a more pleasing pom-pom.
