WHAT YOU NEED two pompom makers in different sizes : 65mm and 45mm some colourful yarn scissors yarn needle a hat to embellish! Choose the colours you prefer for the central pompom (the bigger one) and for the 6 petals (smaller ones). Your pompoms need to have long tails, because they are useful when knotting them to the top of the hat !Trim all the pompoms so to have lovely fluffy rounded ones.  Once you are happy with the position of the small ones (put under the big one), pick up your flower and with the help of a yarn needle pull all the tails, from the top of the hat to inside.
