Pompoms - glue or sew: that is the question!

Should you glue or sew pompons on? The answer lies in the nature of your project. For temporary or not too often, actively used crafts - a few drops of glue will help to attach any colored ball. But for clothing or items that require a secure fixation, pompoms should be sewn on, thus keeping them in their place for a long time.
