Crafts :: PomPom Fish
There is something really fun about making pompoms. I love to play with the yarn and make different color combinations in different sizes. They are so very cute to decorate a present with or to make a garland. I have even made colorful mobiles. You can leave them as is, or you can give them fins and eyes and turn them into fish.

A Craft & Recipe to Celebrate Your Favorite Furry Friends

Aside from upping the cute factor, these loyal companions can deliver important lessons on courage, protection and love.
