holiday writing, full of hyperboles and stuff.

My trip to wellington in the holidays

I went to wellington on an eggbeater. It was so bumpy that it felt as if we were in a hurricane.
I went to the kapiti ice cream factory There I ate some fejoia flavoured ice cream, amazingly it tasted like fejoia flavoured ice cream, it also tasted fresh, and like it had just come from the factory…..Because it was. I couldn’t stop thinking about the wonderful taste, it tasted like it came from heaven, or like eating all the lollies in a giant lolly store, or eating a 10 kilogram bag of sugar all at once, and I could go on and, on, at describing the taste but basically, it tasted good.
I had a very terrible haircut.
I then went to what I think is the best thing in wellington, weka movie studios, they told us lots of things about the costumes, and the props. It was as interesting as a cockroach the size of an elephant, with 7 wings, 5 antennas, smashed under 5 million tonnes of iron… For me, but my brother didn’t find it as interesting.
So you’d think that my holiday was really fun, but I’ve excluded the 15 pages of homework I had to do.

how to make pom poms

How to Make Pom poms

Materials: 

‰ Cardboard 
‰ Scissors 
‰ Yarn 

Step-by-Step Instructions 
1. Make a cardboard template. Find 
something round that you can use as a 
template. For this example, use the bottom 
or top of a glass. The bigger the circle the 
larger the pom-pom. Use some extra yarn 
you have around to make your first test 
pom-pom. 

2. Trace the glass on the cardboard, 
two times and cut out these two circles. 


3. Now trace another little circle inside along with two lines that 
reach out to the outer edge. Cut out the inner circle as shown in 
the picture. This is your pom pom template. The template shown 
in this picture is about 3 ¾” in diameter. 

4. Cut a piece of yarn about 12 inches and place it between the 
two pieces of cardboard. This is the tie yarn that holds the pom 
pom yarn together. 

5. Hold the 2 pieces of cardboard together such that the yarn is 
in place and doesn’t slip out. Now take yarn from the skein and 
begin wrapping it around the cardboard template. I like to begin in 
the center and wrap to the right and then wrap back to the center 
and over to the left side and then finish up back in the center. This 
approach allows all sides to get an even distribution of yarn. The 
more yarn you wrap around, then the denser your pom-pom will be. 
This may take some experimentation to get exactly what you want. 

6. Make a loose slipknot with the tie yarn that is sandwiched 
between the cardboard. 

7. Slip your scissors in between the two pieces of cardboard 
and begin cutting around the circle. When you are finished, tighten 
the tie yarn slipknot as tight as you can get it. Make another 
slipknot to make a secure the pom-pom. Slip the cardboard 
templates away from the yarn.
