Supplies:

  • 12”x12” corkboard
  • 30 red 1” pom poms
  • 26 white 1” pom poms
  • 4 black 1/2” pom poms
  • 20 black 5mm pom poms
  • 1 1/2” wide black and white gingham ribbon
  • 4 thumbtacks
  • black marker
  • low temperature glue gun with glue sticks

Instructions:

  1. Beginning at one corner of the corkboard, glue 1” pom poms around the edges, alternating red and white and leaving four red pom poms remaining.
  2. Write “Things to Do” across the top of the corkboard with a black marker.
  3. Cut a 3’ length of black and white gingham ribbon. Tie a shoestring bow in the middle of the ribbon length. Glue the tails to the back of the corkboard, 1” in from each edge, creating a hanger.
  4. Glue one 1/2” black pom pom to each of the four remaining red pom poms. Glue five 5mm black pom poms to the top of each red pom pom. Glue one thumbtack to the bottom of each red pom pom.
