Here's what you'll need: STEP 1 Use fray check on the stem, twist it snugly so that you get a good base for the glue and thread to hold to. Let dry. STEP 2 Dip the stem into the glue. Try not to get any on the pom pom or you'll have a mess. This is something I happen to know all about so you'll want to heed my warning. STEP 3 Remove any excess glue with a toothpick. You don't want it too gloppy, just a nice covering. STEP 4 Place one end of a 6" piece of the embroidery floss at the base of the stem. STEP 5 Wind the floss into a loop at the top of the stem. Try to get the loop as small as you can and as flat against the top of the stem as possible. STEP 6 Hold the pom pom in one hand, wind the floss back down to the bottom of the stem. Trim the floss and secure the end with a dab of glue. Feel free to mold the stem to get it into shape. (Works best while the glue is still damp.) See less
