How to make pompoms

Start crafting again with this fun how-to! - by Better Homes and Gardens
  • 01 Feb 2021

Perfect poms of woolly colour are easy with the right setup. Not not only are they fun to make, but this underrated activity is also addictive!

WATCH: DIY Pom Pom Cushion

Gather your supplies
Stiff card; yarn; scissors; compass with pencil

TIP! You can wrap yarn around a plastic pompom making tool, but you will get a tighter, more uniform result using two circles of stiff card. You can adjust the diameter of the cardboard circles to make your poms any size.

...

Step 1

Using compass, draw 2 circles the size of pompom on stiff card. Draw a smaller circle in centre of each, 1/3 of the diameter of outer circle.
