A good tip is to find the lowest point and cut the rest to match to make it nice and even. Take your scissors and trim the stragglers on the pom. Make sure you stay in the centre when you do this! Repeat on the other side and cut the yarn tail off to separate your soon-to-be pom pom from the ball of yarn. Take your scissors and carefully cut through the top of your wrapped yarn. Repeat the threading technique to finish as before to secure, and make sure both sides are closed in preparation for the next step. This allows it to be free to begin wrapping on the other side!Ĭlose the finished side and begin to repeat the exact same process on the other side of the maker until the whole thing is completely wrapped up with yarn.

Once the yarn is completely covering the plastic of the maker and you’ve layered up as many times as you wish, thread your yarn through the gap as seen in the below image. The more layers you create while wrapping, the thicker and fluffier your pom pom will be! Make sure the plastic is totally covered by pushing down the yarn as you go along. To prepare, open this little gadget to look like the below image.īegin to wrap the yarn in your chosen colour around one side of the maker. We’ve used a medium sized one for our garland, but the larger ones are perfect to create crib mobiles or key rings! The little ones are great to make a key ring or hanging decoration with three different coloured pom poms all together. You can also get them in many different sizes. These are super easy to use so don’t worry.

You could choose a theme featuring pretty pastel colours, neutral greys and whites, or even create a rainbow of poms! We went for a very colourful approach inspired by our Lima Llama collection: Dark blue, light blue, orange, green, cream, pink, purple and red.
