It's so easy to make yarn pompoms. All you need is a ball of yarn, scissors and a pompom maker (I got mine at JoAnn's). You can use a cardboard circle too.
Wind the yarn around the pompom maker...
When it is covered on both sides cut through the yarn on each side of the circle.
Tie a double length of yarn through the middle. Tie it really tight so the yarn doesn't get loose and fall out.
I decided to hot glue these pompoms on a stick... wouldn't a pompom bouquet be cute?!
Oh holy cow, this is exactly what I need for my old sock monkey!! The pom poms that are still on him need serious help and he's lost a couple! I had NO idea there was a 'pom pom maker'!!!!! See, something new, EVERY day!! :)))
ReplyDeleteVery cute- I love making pom poms, so fun and they make lovely decorations. I made some and scattered them on a table for a friend's baby shower. Following you now too Jenni! x
