Grab ‘n’ Go: Pom Poms

You can buy pom poms, but why not make them?

Pom poms are easy and fast to make with minimal tools and materials. You can use them to decorate items or add wiggle eyes for fun.

Tools:

• Scissors
• Fork

Materials:

• Yarn

Steps:

Mini — To make mini pom poms, wrap fork 25 times.

Small — To make small pom poms, wrap two fingers 50 times.

Medium — To make medium pom poms, wrap three fingers 75 times.

Large — To make large pom poms, wrap four fingers 100 times.

Finish — Tie yarn in the center to hold the strands together, leaving the ends longer so you can attach it later. Cut the loops. You may need to trim the pom pom a bit if the ends are uneven.

NOTE: You can adjust the number of wraps for a fuller or sparser pom pom.
