Hi All, Aimee here to share my new favorite craft! The Pom Pom Maker. This by far is so so fun. And so so easy, I thought I would make some Halloween décor with it.
A few months ago I was traveling through Salt Lake City, and made a detour to go visit American Crafts. While there I saw a package with pom pom makers and I was fit to be tied, tied with yarn that is. I could not wait for this release! A few weeks later I was at home and received my DT package from WE R and I saw the pom pom maker in the package. Let’s just say it was a good day.
Ok so this tool is so easy to use, I broke it into 10 steps for you!
- start wrapping yarn {or your choice of media} around the blue half moons, no need to tie, just wrap
- wrap as much as you want, the more you wrap the fuller and fluffier your pom pom will be
- cut your yarn, close the moon, and repeat on the other side
- cut a scrap piece of yarn approx. 3-4 inches
- with the moons closed, snip the yarn
- use the scrap piece of yarn to wrap around the cut yarn and cinch it tight, as tight as you can without breaking the yarn, then tie a knot
- pull the moons out
- then pun the pom pom maker from the pom pom
- snip the tails, and any yarn that’s too long
- roll and fluff
Congrats! You are a master of the pom pom maker
To string the pom poms I have 2 methods.
- String a needle with yarn and slip needle through the middle of pom pom OR
- Push yarn through the middle of pom pom barbarically, you might risk mutilating your pom pom, but I have done this method in a pinch AND it works!
I seriously have an obsession with the pom pom maker, and pom poms may have taken over my house SPOOKY I know!
What will your first project be with the pom pom maker?
