Жесткие помпоны состоят из плетеного или связанного крючком полотна, натянутого на жесткую основу или плотно набитого каким-либо подходящим материалом.

Два таких кружка складываются вместе и плотно обматываются нитками, проходящими через отверстие в центре и огибающими край диска.

Сейчас, например, за окном +5, но это уже поздний вечер, а днём было не меньше +10. Как видно, ёлка у нас по-настоящему живая, растёт во дворе, а игрушки – вполне обычные и традиционные.

Хотя к зелёной траве, свежей петрушке и цветущей розе больше подошло бы что-то менее зимнее – как, например, ёлочная игрушка с упакованным внутрь сухим тысячелистником. Кстати, этот шарик не арт-объект в единственном экземпляре – его можно купить: $10 за маленький, $14 за большой, набором дешевле.

When I bought something at a store recently, the clerk handed me my purchase in a bag made from a newspaper. I liked it very much and had to make some more—thus today's DIY recycled newspaper project: gift bags made from the Wall Street Journal.

You can vary the dimensions, of course, but here's what I used to create a bag that's 5" tall, 4.5" wide, and 3" deep. Stack two sheets of newspaper on top of each other. This will be a two-ply bag for extra sturdiness. Cut out a rectangle that's 15.5" wide and 8.25" tall. If your paper already has a fold in it, align the existing fold with one of the fold lines in the diagram below, unless you don't mind an extra fold appearing somewhere on your bag.

Fold a flap 1.25" down from the top. Cut two pieces of cardstock or chipboard to 4.25" x 1", then glue them on the widest two panels just under the top fold. Upend the bag so the 2" flap is now up. Put glue on both flaps and fold them inward to form the bottom of the bag.
