Cut yarn and weave in ends
Make a teeny, tiny pompom! I do this by wrapping yarn around my pointer and middle finger 45-50 times. Cut yarn and then weave another piece of yarn tightly around the middle of the wrapped yarn. Slide off your fingers and pull the middle string tight! Use the end of the string used to wrap the middle to attach the pompom to the booty. Using your tapestry needle, attach the pompom to the middle of the booty. After the pompom is securely attached to the bunny, start cutting the wrapped loops. You will need to trim it up to make it look nice and round. You can also do this BEFORE attaching, if you’d rather, but I find it easier to do if the pompom is attached before I start shaping it.
