Pompom Mania

I bought a Japanese Book about Pompoms a while ago ( ISBN 978-4-7661-2282-4 , find a lovely  article  here on Zakka Life about it) ...I was already admiring the whimsical ones my friend Christelle does and, indeed there was a little of pompom making in the studio these past months!

Inspirée par Christelle, de Tambouille, je me suis découvert un penchant marqué pour les pompons...ça a un petit gout d'enfance, et même si c'est killer pour le ventilo de mon ordi, je ne peux pas résister. Je me suis offert un livre de craft  japonais absolument délicieux :  Easy Pretty POM POM - Japanese Craft Book (ISBN 978-4-7661-2282-4) et depuis des que j'ai cinq minutes et un sac d'aspirateur, hop, pompon.

This little bunny was a four-hand project.

I have a self explanatory board on Pinterest : Afternoons with my son. Here I put all the crafts and fun things I would happily do with him. My son doesn't wait to be bored and instead asks for the "Afternoon board". We pick something together, make a to do list (hidden spelling , writing and reading exercise. I feel devilish), hunt what we need in the house and craft. We have loads of fun.
This bunny is inspired from a Martha Stewart's one, but instead of gluing things I sew them as much as possible, because I believe in craft that last. We had a lot of fun, totally recommend.

J'ai un board spécial sur Pinterest: Afternoons with my son, ou j'épingle tous les projets que je voudrais faire avec le Bu. Hier il a choisi le lapin en Pompon de Martha Stewart qui ressemble beaucoup à un cochon d'Inde que ma maman nous a fait, petits...

These delightful pompoms I made from the Easy Pretty POM POM - Japanese Craft Book ( find it at my favorite ebay-shop : Pomadour24, totally recommend) and I find them so absolutely pretty that I procrastinated for months to do what I wanted with them, namely hook them on my handbag. Isn't it cool? My absolutely plain $30 Old Navy handbag looks as fab as an Anthro bag, for $2 of wool and 10 cents of pretty Japanese safety pin.

I am a bit over excited about this. Wouldn't you?

J'ai donc fait quelques pompons du livre Japonais, qui traite le pompon avec un système de projection assez proche des textures 3D...Ha mais ne vous marrez pas,je suis une spécialiste du poil 3D , c'est un métier. Bref j'étais tellement contente des mes pompons qu'il m'a fallu un temps fou pour les utiliser comme je voulais, pour transformer un sac un peu blah en sac chic. J'aurais du le faire plus tôt, c'est carrément la mode ici... Est-ce que c'est la mode en France aussi? 

The cute effects on the photos were made with the iPhone App A Beautiful Mess
