Pompom Purse

Make a pompom purse like I did, with a felted bag and adding felt appliques that are embroidered with the same yarn you used to make the pompoms...

Here's what you'll need.


Yarn:
Red Heart - Easy Tweed - 6613 Aran
MODA DEA - Spellbound - 2741 Lancelot
Red Heart - Soft Yarn - 1882 Toast

Felt:
Grey, Gold, Beige, Brown

Tools:
Pinking Shears
Upholstery Needle

Steps:
  1. Make 3 Aran pompoms, on the 1” step of the Pattiewack™ pompom tool, winding 20 times and tying with 8” of yarn.  Lay aside.
  2. Make 3 Lancelot pompoms, on the 1-1/2” step of the pompom tool, winding 20 times and tying with 8” of yarn.  Lay aside.
  3. Cut hearts, flowers and shape from felt with pinking shears.  Embroider assorted stitches in the felt shapes. 
  4. Cut 3 brown circles with pinking shears and sew wooden beads into the centers.
  5. Arrange shapes and pompoms on the side of the purse, pinning in place.  Use photo as a guide if desired.  Sew to the purse, using the upholstery needle.
  6. Make 3 tassels, on the 2” step of the tassel tool, winding 20 times and tying the tops with 12” of yarn.
  7. Tie the tassels onto the zipper pull.
