Materials:

Tinsel garland

2 Head pins

Sequins or beads

Instructions:

1. Roll the tinsel garland into a pom pom. If the garland is made of wire it should stay in place. Otherwise, tie a thread around to secure the garland in place.

3. Use round-nosed pliers to make a loop at the top of the head pin.

4. Stick the earring hook through the loop, and close the loops with pliers.
