Cut yarn around outer edge between the 2 circles. Cut a 10-inch length of Emerald Green. Double this strand and slip between 2 cardboard circles and tie securely around strands of pompon. Using the Emerald Green strands for stems, trim the ends of the pompon evenly.
Contrasting Color Pompon (make 8) ... Working same as for previous Pompons, cut two 5-inch lengths of a color. Wind these strands around the cardboard circles as before, pushing strands closely together. Cut two 3¼-yard lengths of a contrasting color and continue to wind them over the circles until the center hole is filled. Complete as for previous Pompons.
Form a rosette of the ribbon by making twelve 2½-inch loops with 2 free ends. Sew base of loops together. Arrange the pompons to form a corsage. With stems hanging free, sew corsage and rosette to top of cover as shown. If desired trim with a little bee or butterfly.
