How to make pom poms (with cardboard)

Have you ever wanted to make pom pom’s? Here is how I make them! I use cardboard but I know you can also make them by using a fork and I will try that one day.

I used to make these when I was little and as I’m writing this I wonder whom tough me? It must have been my mum? Or maybe my sister?  I just remember making loads and loads of these!

How to make pom poms (with cardboard)

Ingredients

  • Cardboard
  • Pen
  • Scisssors
  • Yarn

Instructions

1

Trace two circles onto two pieces of cardboard, followed by two smaller circles inside.

2

With the scissors cut out each circle.

3

Place the two rings together and start wrapping the yarn around the cardboard. Change the colour if you wish. Warp until the cardboard ring is full.

4

Slip the scissors in-between the rings and cut the yarn (On the picture I'm cutting more on the side, and that is only because my scissors were not very sharp!).

5

Tread a piece off yarn through the middle of the two cardboard and tie a knot or two.

6

Cut the edge and take the cardboard away.

7

Trim the edges of the pom pom with scissors if they are uneven.

I enjoyed making Lacing hearts! You will too!
