THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT
- 1 silver pencil
- 1 metal ruler or ruler
- 1 cutting mat
- 1 cutter and scissors
6 CM POMPOM
1. CUT 2 RECTANGLES
Using the silver pencil, trace 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 strip measuring 20 cm by 0.5 cm to attach the pompom.
The pencil can be erased on most leathers with a simple eraser (do not use on vegetable tanned leather). We advise you to do a test beforehand to validate the erasable function on your leather. 
2. GLUE THE RECTANGLES TOGETHER
Apply leather glue to both sides of the rectangles. Wait a few moments then glue the two pieces. To maximize glue adhesion, flatten the leather with a steel roller. 
Finally, cut the excess pieces with a cutter. 
3. DRAW A LINE WITH THE SILVER PENCIL
On the inner part of the pompom, draw a line 1.5 cm from the edge (lengthwise) with the silver pencil.
Then, with a ruler, make marks every 0.5mm (to cut out the fringes at regular intervals). 
With a cutter or scissors, cut the fringes up to the line drawn with the silver pencil. Then erase all traces of silver pencil. 
4. LEATHER BAND APPLICATION
Apply contact cement 1.5 cm from the edge of the rectangle and to the ends of the strip.
Then, fold the strip on itself before sticking it on the leather rectangle. 
5. FORM THE POMPOM
Pulling tightly: form the pompom starting from the left. 
9. FINISH THE POMPOM
Wait a few minutes while holding the pompom tight.
And there you have it, your pompom is finished! 
MAKE 2 MORE SMALL POMPOMS
WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE LEATHER
1. CUT 4 RECTANGLES
Using the silver pencil, trace 2 rectangles measuring 4x8 cm 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).
- 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.
With a ruler, make dots every 0.4mm (to cut the fringes at regular intervals). 
4. CUT THE FRINGES FROM THE POMPOM
With a cutter or scissors, cut the fringes up to the line drawn with the silver pencil. Then erase all traces of silver pencil. 
5. STICK THE ROUND LACE
With 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 put glue all over the top strip (where there is no fringe). Pulling tightly: form the pompom starting from the left.
Do the same thing with the second rectangle and the other end of the lace.
