(10-Thing-1002) Purple PomPom for Tail

I was given a black and white striped tail recently, but I thought it looked sorta plain.  What better way to spruce up a tail than with a purple pompom?

First, I had to make the cardboard circles, which was easy because I happen to have a compass for drawing sleek circles in various sizes.  The I cut 3 lengths of purple yarn about 8 feet each.  (It has to be small enough to wad up and push through the hole in the center). If I was to do this again, I'd use at least another 8 foot length to make the pompom fuller.  Then I cut around the circle and tied the bunch up with another small piece of yarn.  Poof! A pompom!

I sewed it to the tail, and added a snap to the top so I could attach it to my belt loop.  Its always nice to have a tail available to wear when necessary!
