Pompon Chrysanthemum, bud and eucalyptus pom-poms

Pompon Chrysanthemums make perfect floral pom-pom beads

Use the hairpin wire needle to thread the flower.

Cut the flower stem away. Use a long thin needle or the hairpin wire needle to thread the first flower. Pierce through the petal to the green stem side.

Thread the second flower

Thread the second flower. This time pierce through the green bottom side of the flower and out through the petals.

Decorate the chrysanthemum pompom with carnation buds.

Decorate the chrysanthemum pompom with carnation buds, eucalyptus and Ceropegia woodii. I also added the thinnest strand of copper wire and tiny blue beads.
