1. Wrap First Layer![]() ![]() ![]() With the cardboard rectangle placed horizontally, choose your first colour and begin wrapping it around the cardboard. Try to keep the wrapping within a 1.5cm width. The more wool you use, the bigger your pom pom will be, so it's up to you how much you want to wrap. Snip the wool off when you're done. 2. Wrap the Second Layer![]() ![]() ![]() Choose a second colour and begin wrapping, making sure it's tightly wrapped next to the first colour. As this will form one of the middle stripes of the Easter egg, make it a little smaller in width, approximately 0.75cm. Snip off the wool when you're done. 3. Wrap the Third Layer![]() ![]() ![]() Repeat Step 2 with a third colour. 4. Wrap The Final Colour![]() ![]() ![]() Complete the wrapping process with a final layer of colour, the same colour and width as the first. Snip the wool when you're done. 5. Prepare for Tying![]() ![]() ![]() Cut a long piece of wool and slip it between the cardboard and the wrapped wool on one side only. 6.
