Today we’re going to make a pom-pom.
{Clap hands now!!!} 😉
Ok. We need to gather our things.
We need:
YARN
SCISSORS
That’s pretty much it! Unless you want to listen to some favorite music or a podcast or audiobook OR watch a video or movie while you pom-pom.
Here are three of my pom-pom makers all opened up.
Simply start wrapping yarn around one end of the pom-pom maker.
Wrap till it’s covered and full. With bulky or super-bulky yarn this doesn’t take too long.
There’s a little notchy-thing at the far end. Run your yarn into this to hold it and clip it with your scissors.
Fold wrapped side in to the middle of pom-pom maker.
Begin wrapping the next side.
Around and around until done-and-done!!
Fold this side in to and now you have this!
A pom-pom maker with wrapped yarn.
Take your scissors and begin cutting right down the middle of the wrapped yarn. There’s a groove in the pom-pom maker and your scissors will easily follow it.
{My scissors came from Stampin’ Up years ago. I love them. They’re very sharp and the size is perfect for pom-pom projects. They have a very short cut. They clip. You would not want to use these for cutting material for a project. It would take forever!! Here’s a pair that Stampin’ Up offers now.}
There. Yarn cut.
Do both sides.
Now open pom-pom ends back up. You’ll have a look like this.
DON’T TAKE THE POM-POM MAKER APART YET, THOUGH! Only open each end/side.
Now, take yarn and run around the middle of the pom-pom maker.
Pull it up snugly and tie it.
You’re tying it together to creat the pom-pom. Otherwise you’ll only have a bunch of short, loose yarn strands!
After the tie-it-together yarn is snugly in place, pull your pom-pom maker apart.
`Voila!!
You have a pom-pom!!
And pretty soon two……
and pretty soon a whole bunch……………….. 🙂 🙂
Find my DIY pom-pom wreath post here………………
And the pink pom-pom wreath I made for my Mother is in this post…………….
And there is a pom-pom garland and a bunch of pom-poms and two pom-pom wreaths in this post…………..
I definitely got bitten by the pom-pom bug! 🙂
One of my friends recently bought pom-pom makers and she got this Jumbo pom-pom maker. It looks like fun to see a great big pom-pom created with it! She and her daughter were loving the pom-pom makers.
I have this set of Large pom-pom makers and I have this set of Small. I find myself using the smaller one from the LARGE set and the larger one from the SMALL set, the most. If you can follow that confusing explanation!
Have you ever made pom-poms? I’d love to know!
