The first time I put a beanie through the washing machine, I was somewhat disappointed, if not worse. Why? Simply because of the wet dog face of my beloved pompom<\/strong>, which in this case didn’t appreciate the grooming at all.<\/p>\n

Since then, I haven’t washed my hats with the pompoms. I make removable pom-poms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First of all, how to make a pompom<\/h2>\n

It’s a bit like the ABCs of DIY, but a little remin<\/strong> der never hurts.<\/p>\n

The primary aim is to wrap the wool around a doughnut-shaped support (yum!), be it a piece of cardboard or a device specially designed for the purpose. Then “open” the pom-pom by cutting the strands, and tie the whole thing firmly with the wool to keep the strands tidy.<\/p>\n

With the magic camera, it looks like this:<\/p>\n

Removable pompom: The lazy technique<\/h2>\n

Nothing could be simpler: just don’t cut the wires<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You make your own pom-pom, insert the threads to attach the pom-pom wherever you like, and tie a pretty knot inside the hat<\/strong>. Just tuck it into the wires, make a little rosette and you’re done! Next time you want to wash your bonnet, just undo the rosette and the bow, and off you go!<\/p>\n

It works impeccably even if it does tend to unravel a little at times. You’ll need to retie the knots from time to time to make sure you don’t sow any tassels here and there!<\/p>\n

Removable Pompon: The ultimate technique<\/h2>\n

The trick lies in a single word: pressure<\/strong>. It requires a little dexterity, but it’s easy to do!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8701-exp\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Simply sew one half of a<\/strong> snap (rather the one with the bitoniau sticking out) to the pom-pom and the other to the top of the cap<\/strong> (or wherever you want to attach the pom-pom). Avoid tiny snaps, as you’ll find it harder to remove the pompom. And that’s all there is to it!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The method’s hidden advantage<\/h2>\n

As a result, all the pompoms can be shared<\/strong> between all your accessories, and above all, you can change the color of the pompom to suit your mood<\/strong>! Now that’s magic!<\/p>\n
