Instructions in 9 steps Black topper and red bow tie unmistakably define the Pomponella pendant as a groom.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Needle & sewing thread, possibly toothpick

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Insert the raw-wood ball onto a paintbrush tip or a suitable wooden stick.

Step 2

Paint the raw-wood ball, to serve as a head, by means of the paintbrush from the set. You can sketch out the face as an aid with a pencil (example template enclosed). For the face, start with the All Purpose paint, colour nude, which you lighten a bit with the All Purpose paint, colour snow-white. Paint the hair and the rest of the face afterwards. For the cheeks, mix a drop of the vivid red paint with the white paint. Allow to dry well out.

Step 3

Drill a hole in the middle of the top hat with a needle or toothpick.

Step 4

Thread 20 cm of the black jewellery cord through the eyelet of the lobster clasp. Lay both ends of the decorative cord on top of each other and thread both ends through the top hat and the small head. As a spacing element between the head (raw-wood ball) and the body (soft tulle pompom), thread through a white bead from the wooden bead mix.

Tip:

A toothpick makes it easier to push the decorative cord through the raw-wood ball hole.

Step 5

After that, tie a knot so that the lobster clasp gets more space to move. Tie a simple knot in the middle with the remaining decorative cord. Now, sew firmly the head and the legs separately to the inside of the pompom with a matching sewing thread. Always sew the ends of the thread.
