| White on white, and ready for some color! |
Step 1:
Once you have your vase or container ready, cut the foam to fit the bottom. This will provide a support base for the wire and perky flowers!

Step 2:
Take your yarn and wrap it around your pointer and middle fingers about 100 times. This will provide a small yet "fluffy" pom-pom. Once you are finished wrapping, cut the end of the yarn (leaving a few inches). Carefully remove from your fingers and take the cut end through the opening to secure. Tie a small knot and check to make sure it is snug.

Step 3:
Spread the folded ends to create a circle. Take your scissors and cut all the ends open. Once all folded ends are cut, begin to trim the pom-pom down. You can adjust it to any size you would like at this point. I decided to make smaller, fluffier pom-poms.

Step 4:
Once your pom-pom is the shape you want, cut a piece of wire to the height you desire for your container. Place the pom-pom on the end of the wire and stick it in the foam. You can glue the pom-pom on the wire if you want it make more secure.
Repeat steps 2 and 3. Become a pom-pom pro and make as many as you need to fill your container. Once it is full, set it out and enjoy. No watering necessary!
