Making a Colorful Gift Tag

1. Cut a few circles out of the paper.  We used measuring cups for a variety of sizes.

2.  Cut a few circles out of the fabric.

3. Match the fabric circles to corresponding paper circles. Sew each pair of circles together, with a generous 1/4-inch seam allowance.  Don't worry if the seams are perfect circles or not.  Trim the edges of the circles with the pinking shears to even them out. Punch a hole near where the ends of the seam overlap.

4.  Now it's time to make some pom poms.  Make as many as you like in different sizes.  For a good tutorial on making pom poms using the Clover contraption, we like the directions on Knitter's Review
