Pom Pom Cherry

Using the Red yarn, wrap yarn around 2 fingers several times and then cut leaving a long tail. Thread yarn needle. Weave yarn tail  through middle section of the yarn on your fingers. Don't poke yourself! Pull yarn from fingers and while holding the center of the bunch of yarn, pull the yarn tail tight. Secure it with a few knots. Carefully cut ends of yarn bunch, and then fluff out your yarn. Trim ends until you are satisfied with the size of your pom pom. Use remaining yarn tail to sew the pom pom to top of your cupcake hat.
