Hey people!!
Today’s post is going to be very fun.
We are going to make……….
POM-POMS!
Yaya!
:)
You will need:
Yarn
A dinner fork
Scissors
Thread the yarn through the middle two tines on the fork. You will want to leave a nice, long tail. Mine is too short here.
Start wrapping the yarn around the tines of the fork.
Keep wrapping! Remember, the more yarn you have the bigger the pom-pom will be.
Once you have wrapped the fork to your satisfaction, take the tail and go up and over the entire bundle.
Flip the fork over to the back. Thread the tail through the two middle tines again. Flip the fork back over.
It should look something like this.
Tie the yarn in a knot and cut the extra yarn.
Take the bundle off the fork and cut the loops in half. DON’T CUT THE LOOPS OFF! YOUR BRIGHT AND HAPPY POM-POM WILL BE REDUCED TO NOTHING BUT SAD, SAD BITS OF YARN. Only cut them in half.
You are halfway there! Now cut the other loops.
Yay! Your pom-pom is done! Now for the fun part: what you can DO with the pom-poms!!
You could glue googly-eyes on to make yourself a little fuzzy friend.
You could glue several together to make yourself a rainbow of fuzzy-ness!
If you make the tails extra long you can use it as a bookmark!
To make the double pom-pom all I did was make a pom-pom like normal except before I took the bundle off the fork I just started making another pom-pom around the first one. Tie it off like you would normally and you are done!
I hope you liked this how-to! I had a lot of fun with it and I think when we finally take down the Christmas decorations I will hang these around the house. Enjoy!
P.S. this is my 20th post! Just thought I'd mention it! :)

That pink pom pom looks like pygmy puff from HP. I once tried to make a pygmy puff with a cotton ball covered in blue paint. The paint ednded up drying and the "Pygmy Puff" was just a blue hard ball.
ReplyDeleteIt really does look like a pygmy puff! Haha!
