JOIN THE POM-POM PROJECT!
THE CHALLENGE:
Our theme for 2025 is Timeless Treasures – we’ll be celebrating those things which are as valuable today as they were in the past. What better way to do that than with the simple, joyful art of pom-pom making?
We’ll be displaying the Pom-poms on the Fringe by the Sea site in a variety of ways: as pom pom garlands, hanging installations, decorating seating and selfie frames (Take a peek at some example images HERE)
Everyone is welcome, from solo crafters to families, schools, and community groups. Whether you create them at home, in your craft group, or at a local class, we’d love you to be a part of this creative challenge.
