Between decorating parties, cake tops, rooms, packages, dogs and clothing, We've made more pom poms than we could possibly remember. Below is the hand wrapping method for making a pom pom that we teach everyone new who comes aboard to work with TEAM YUM YUM.
Hand Pom Poms:
What you need:
1 skien of yarn (the thicker the yarn, the fluffier the pom pom)
1 pair sharp scissors
What to do:
Step 1:
Begin by wrapping yarn around four fingers, about 60 times.
Step 2:
After you’ve wrapped a thick amount, leave a bit of slack and cut a piece off (about 8-inches long)
Step 3:
Remove yarn from your fingers and tie tightly using the piece you cut off.
Step 4:
Using your scissors, cut through the loops you’ve created by tying the yarn through the middle.
Step 5:
Now is when the magic happens. Clean up your circle shape by trimming your yarn. For a tight pom pom, you’ll be trimming off quite a bit.
When finished you’ll have something like this:
The possibilities for usage are infinite!!!
