CHICAGO – We had a great way to kick off the week on WGN Morning News as we headed to the “Kraft Korner” for the latest do-it-yourself project.

This time Robin Baumgarten was showing the audience how to make Pom Pom Flowers at home while also doing her best to make sure Larry Potash and Paul Konrad were getting it right.

You can watch them create the craft on February 27’s morning news in the video above.

Here’s how you can make it yourself at home!
