How to make a pom pom

Time for a crafty afternoon. - by Laura Barry
  • 06 Sep 2018

Pompoms are an easy craft project that even the smallest family member can make. Follow our simple instructions for how to make pom poms below.

STEP 1 Cut 2 pom pom discs out of cardboard (scale diagram below)
and put both together.

STEP 2 Wind leftovers of green cotton in shades 907 and 702 around the discs, starting from the centre. Keep going backward and forward, till you cover cardboard completely.

STEP 3 Cut threads between cardboard discs, working from outer edge. Only snip a bit at a time, holding discs together with your other hand, until you have cut all the way around.

STEP 4 Slide a 40-50cm length of yarn between 2 cardboard discs. Tie pom pom tightly. Give it a few knots to make sure it’s secure. Slide 2 cardboard discs off pom pom.

STEP 5 Fluff up pom pom so it’s nice and round.
Trim neatly. Don’t cut knotting threads, use them to attach pom pom.
