Black pom pom earrings11/17/2023 I pulled the top closed by sewing opposite sides of the tube together. To close the tops of the poms, I did a criss-cross stitching patten. I cut small pieces of fabric and filled the space so the pom poms hold their shape. The poms want to collapse in a bit so I grabbed some old unbleached cotton muslin to stuff them. If your scraps don’t have a good way of doing this, you can close the bottom in the same way I close the top of the pom in the steps below. In the illustration, this is shown in red and green. I used the pointy extension to make a bottom for the tube created. Pull the fur down/away from the cut edge for sewing to minimize how much fur gets caught An over edge whip stitch works for this situation. Sew the hide into a tube matching the long edges (in the illustration, these are the areas in blue). The colors show the parts that were sewn together to create a tube with a closed bottom. This is approximately the shape I was working with. The fur obscures the shape of the pieces so the illustration above shows the shape of the pieces when the fur is pulled back. These two pieces are the shoulders of the rabbit hide. One of these pieces was used as a template and the other was marked for where needs to be trimmed to match. ![]() If you are making 2 pom poms, having them close to the same size and shape will yield the best results. If you place the piece against a hard surface to cut the skin, it will trim and blunt cut the fur so avoid that if you want to maintain the look of the fur (faux or real). ![]() Use a straight edge blade to make a few light cuts to work through the thickness of the skin to cut it. Trim any scraps of skin from the back of the fur.Ĭut the fur into the shapes you want by holding the fur away from a flat/cutting surface. Sewing Needles (for leather and beading).Straight Edge Blade for cutting the fur (avoid scissors to prevent giving the fur a “haircut”).Thread – if sewing with real fur it is best to use thread designed to work with leather and fur.Fur (scraps work well – you can make the poms whatever size works with your scraps).
