(we had a visitor in our garden today)
I was wondering if he was finding lunch
or looking for materials to build a nest.
( this is a box of large coffee filters ready to assemble and make large pom poms)
For the large pom poms it takes 32 for each- I have enough for 9.
Here is my pin-spiration for this idea.
this is how many I have done for the smaller pom poms
there are enough here to make 114.
It takes 6 coffee filters for each one- they will be about 6 in diameter.
I will spread them about 12 in. apart on twine/ string of some sort.
Baby steps it feels like- for my sons wedding reception.
This is my pin-spiration

ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of cardinals in our yard - they live in the evergreen trees behind the house. This morning and yesterday morning there was a particularly boisterous male sitting on top of our chimney just singing away!
