How to attach the pompom to your creation? Discover our tip!
THE MATERIALS NEEDED TO CREATE YOUR OWN POMPOM
- 1 silver pencil
- 1 metal ruler or rule
- 1 cutting mat
- 1 cutter and scissors
6 CM POMPOM
1. CUT 2 RECTANGLES
Using the silver pencil, draw a rectangle measuring 7.5 x 10 cm on each piece of leather (see pattern).
Cut out the rectangles using a ruler and a cutter.
Also cut a 20 cm by 0.5 cm strip to make the pompom attachment.
The pencil is erasable on most leathers with a simple eraser (do not use on vegetable tanned leather). We recommend that you test it first to confirm the erasability on your leather. 
2. GLUE THE RECTANGLES TOGETHER
Apply leather glue to both backs of the rectangles. Wait a few moments, then glue the two pieces together. To maximize the glue's adhesion, flatten the leather with a steel roller. 
Finally, cut off the excess pieces with a cutter. 
3. DRAW A LINE WITH THE SILVER PENCIL
On the inside of the pompom, draw a line 1.5 cm from the edge (lengthwise) with the silver pencil.
Then, using a ruler, make marks every 0.5mm (to cut the fringes at regular intervals). 
Using a cutter or scissors, cut the fringes up to the line drawn with the silver pencil. Then erase all traces of silver pencil. 
4. INSTALLING THE LEATHER STRIP
Apply contact cement 1.5 cm from the edge of the rectangle and on the ends of the strip.
Then, fold the strip back on itself before sticking it onto the leather rectangle. 
5. FORM THE POMPOM
Tightening well: form the pompom starting from the left. 
9. FINISH THE POMPOM
Wait a few minutes, holding the pompom tight.
And there you have it, your pompom is finished!

WITH THE REST OF THE LEATHER
1. CUT 4 RECTANGLES
Using the silver pencil, draw two 4x8 cm rectangles on each piece of leather (see pattern). Cut out the rectangles using a ruler and a cutter. 
2. GLUE THE RECTANGLES TOGETHER
Glue the rectangles together (using 3M double-sided tape).
- 1 with 3
- 2 with 4
3. DRAW A LINE WITH THE SILVER PENCIL
Along the length, 1 cm from the edge, make a line with the silver pencil.
Using a ruler, make dots every 0.4mm (to cut the fringes at regular intervals). 
4. CUT THE FRINGES FROM THE POMPOM
Using a cutter or scissors, cut the fringes up to the line drawn with the silver pencil. Then erase all traces of silver pencil. 
5. GLUE THE ROUND LACE
Using neoprene glue, glue one end of the lace to the first fringe of one of the rectangles and wait a few seconds for the glue to dry. Then apply glue to the entire top strip (where there is no fringe). Tighten well: form the pompom starting from the left.
Do the same with the second rectangle and the other end of the lace.
