Tutorial of the week
Making Christmas pompoms
What you will need
Cardboard
Pen
Scissors
Two 10 meter / 11 inch lengths of yarn, color of your choosing
50cm / 20” length of yarn, color of your choosing
Safety pin
Steps
Step 1:
On your cardboard mark out a circle that is 5cm / 2” in diameter. Inside that circle, mark a second circle of 2cm / 0.8” in diameter.
Cut it out and make a second cardboard cut out exactly the same.
Step 2:
Take your first 10 meter / 11 inch length of yarn fold it in 1 meter / 1.1” sections, so that it is 10 equal lengths.
Put a pin through the threads on one end, to help you thread your yarn around your circles.
Step 3:
Place your two cut out circles on top of one another and start winding your yarn around the circles.
Do so until you run out of yarn, then repeat the same process with the second color yarn.
Step 4:
Along the edge of your circle, cut you yarn to create your pompom ball.
Step 5:
Separate the two sections of cardboard, and in the middle of them, tie around your third piece of yarn (the 50cm / 20” length). Tie and knot it as tightly as you can as this thread will be holding your pompom together.
Tie a knot at the end of your third piece of yarn to create a hanging loop. Tear away your sections of cardboard.
Your decorative, festive pompoms are now ready to use!
