POM POM PILLOWS!


We learned how to make pillows the way the people did in Colonial America (sort of)

 Wrapping the yarn on the frame was very easy!

More wrapping! 

 We stacked our frames every day at the front of the room!  Check out the gorgeous colors!

Tying was harder than wrapping!
Maren helps Gentry tie...Gentry hurt her shoulder. 

Camden checks to see if Garrett's pillow is stuffed enough. 

Tate's sister helps him tack on the top. 

Waiting in line for an available sewing machine. 

More waiting. 

More stuffing.

...and here are pictures of the finished product...


The girls with their pillows!


The boys with their pillows!

It's amazing every year the colors and fabric the kids come up with!
