How to use this list
Set out the ruler, pencil, child-safe scissors, and two yarn colors first.

Attach the finished pom-pom to a large paper clip so it can sit over a book page.
Common mistakes
Do not choose yarn that is too thin for the cardboard circles, or the pom-pom may look sparse. Keep glue away from the paper clip until the yarn and felt pieces are positioned. This is a bookmark craft, so avoid making bulky felt layers that keep a book from closing.
