Easy Pom Pom Tutorial

This is a technique for an easy pompom tutorial.  I have tried several ways to make a pompom and this is by far the easiest way.

You need yarn and a ring-shaped item the size of the pompom you are wanting to make.  I used a bracelet for the pom poms on my pillow.

Hold the bracelet or round item in one hand and start wrapping the yarn around the bracelet.  I like to wrap it at least 60 times or more for a fuller pom pom.

 

Wrap a piece of yarn around your pompom and tie in a tight knot.

If the knot is too loose the yarn pieces will fall out.

Now for the fun part.  Cut the pom pom off of the bracelet.

The pom pom will be in the shape of a pinecone but you will cut it down.

Squeeze the pom pom in your hand and trim up the long ends.  You want it to be in the shape of a sphere.

You can sew your pom poms on your pillow or glue them on your pillow.  This is an easy pom pom tutorial that works every time!
