Hope you are enjoying the gift wrap shares so far. Todays easy project shows you how to use trim to make simple gift toppers.

First up is yarn.

(full images below)

Supplies:

• yarn
• cardboard with width measuring 1 1/2" (or whatever size you desire)
• scissors

Steps:

• Start by wrapping your yarn around the cardboard piece, wrapping it 40-50 times around
• Pull the wrapped yarn carefully off your cardboard

• Place a larger piece of yarn under the cluster of wrapped yarn

• Tie it around the cluster in a knot, pulling tightly

• Snip the cluster on both sides of the knot

• Fluff it out

• Now time to give your pom pom a haircut, shape and trim until you are satisfied

Tie on a gift for the perfect handmade touch, done!!

Second kind of trim is fabric scraps, which I have a surprising amount of even though I do not own a sewing machine.

 (full images below)

Supplies:

• three strips of fabric measuring approximately 24"
• 18" long wire (optional)
• scrap of felt
• hot glue
•  

Steps:

• combine all three strips of fabric tie one end in a knot

• slip wire under the knot (optional)

• braid

• coil the braid around itself, creating a circle, until you get to the end of the braid
• wrap the end pieces with the wire to keep it secure
• trim the excess fabric strips from the knotted end

• thread a piece of black felt on the wire
• using hot glue adhere the felt to the back of the braid, tucking in loose ends as you go
• insert braided circle around your present, secure with wire

All done!!
