I TOOK THIS WOODEN WALKING CANE & I SEWED A PIECE OF STRIPED KNITTING AROUND IT. IT WAS A SIMPLE KNITTING JOB & THE CANE IS STILL USEABLE.THIS CANE LOOKS A BIT LIKE A CANDY CANE & I ENJOY HAVING IT DECORATING MY CRAFT INSPIRED HOME.POMPOMS ARE EASY &  A LOT OF FUN TO MAKE. KIDS CAN MAKE THEM & SO CAN ADULTS. YOU CAN EITHER BUY A  SIMPLE POMPOM MAKER FOR A FEW DOLLARS AT A CRAFT STORE OR YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN POMPOM MAKER WITH A PIECE OF ROUND CARDBOARD.
