Introduction

Instead tossing out the pom pom that fell off your favorite beanie, just follow these easy steps to reattach it and make your beanie look as good as new.

This guide requires basic sewing. If you're a beginner or don't have a lot of sewing experience, it may take a little longer, but it's a good first project to give sewing a try.
