It's seriously enough to make you pop a cork, right?  Then you'll just have to decorate that cork with a raffia pom-pom.  The cool thing about the PattieWack™ Makers, is you can wind just about anything around the tools, like RAFFIA to make a pom-pom.  So, to make your pom-pom corks, wind raffia around the PattieWack™ Mini Pom-Pom Maker at the 5th section to make a 2-1/2" pom-pom.  Tie the center with raffia, or better yet, use heavy wire.  Cut the sides of the pom-pom to release.  Poke the wire into a cork and it's ready to pop back into...

How fun is this?   Covered hangers with pompoms are so simple,  yet really functional.     Wind yarn around the third section of the  PattieWack™ Pom-Pom Maker until it's nice and full.   Tie it as tightly as possible in the center  with another length of yarn.   Pull the tied yarn toward the point of the tool  to loosen the yarn slightly,  then cut the loops on both sides to release the pompom.   Now, trim the pompom and tie it to a fabric covered hanger.   Super cute!
