Faux Fur Week Day 2: Fur Pom Poms Tutorial

Can I just say I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE these pom poms. I want to stick them to all my hats....I am loving this faux fur week. Lots more projects to come people and I'm so DANG excited.

Supplies:
fur
some sort of stuffing (could be old fabric or old shirt, whatever!)
sewing machine or needle and thread
scissors

Stuffed Pom Pom Instructions:

(better for bigger pom poms)
1. cut two circles, these are 4 inches wide.
2. Pin and sew the two circles, right sides together, leaving an inch and a half of and opening. Flip right side out.
3. Stick stuffing or fur remnants into the opening till its nice and full.
4. Hand stitch the opening closed.
The Baste and Pull Pom Pom Instructions:
(better for smaller pom poms)
1. Hand stitch a basting stitch with each stitch being a quarter to a half inch long all the way around the edge of the circle.
2. Pull closed. 
3. Stitch the end closed. 
*The circle will be half the size it starts out to be. So, a 4 inch will be a 2 inch pom pom. If you make a bigger one, then stuffing may be needed.
