![]() I like to leave at least one of the long ends of the center tie intact, to use for attaching the pom pom to whatever it’s going to get attached to. Trim the ends of your pom pom as desired, and there you have it! A perfect pom pom with no special tools. Now flip your object over, and cut through the wraps, directly opposite your knot. I like to thread each end back under again, then tie another knot just to be sure it’s secure and tight. ![]() Tie a knot with this yarn as tightly as you can. This can be done with a hook or yarn needle, or even with your fingers if your wraps are loose enough or your object is a bit flexible. When you’re done wrapping, thread a long piece of the same yarn underneath all the wraps. The more you wrap, the fuller your pom pom will be. Keep wrapping the yarn until you have as much as you want. Once you have chosen your object, hold the end of the yarn against it, and start wrapping. The wider the object, the longer the strands of the pom pom will be, so try to find something fairly narrow. For this tutorial, I’ve grabbed the first small, rectangular thing I saw in my office – an old used up gift card. ![]() Square or rectangular objects tend to work well. The key is it has to be something that will hold the yarn without slipping off. Just about anything that you can wrap yarn around can become a pom pom maker. These are all perfectly great ways to make pom poms, but the truth is, in a pinch, you don’t really need them. You may even have seen tutorials for making your own pom pom makers out of cardboard. ![]() You’ve probably seen those round pom pom makers that come in sets of various sizes. ![]()
