Step 4Make pom pom, and attach to top of hat.
Making Pom Pom
This pom pom should be 3.5î across. If you do not have a pom pom maker of this size, you can use the template below to create your own.
Follow this link if you need instructions on pom pom making: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Pom-Pom
Pom Pom Template
When printed out, template should measure 4î across (the discrepancy between pom pom size and template size is a mystery to me, but the original pom pom maker I purchased stated the end size of pom poms was 3.5î).
