23: POM POMs!

This is how to make those cool yarn pom poms!



STEP 1 > Cut out two cardboard circles and cut a hole in the center. The bigger the outter rim of the circle the bigger the pom pom is. Place the circles back to back.







STEP 2 > Cut a very long piece of string and start wrapping it around the cardboard circles. If you would like you can add different colors of string, or if you run out you can add more. Just secure the ends while wrapping.







STEP 3 > Continue until you have thickly covered your circle. The thicker the yarn is, the bigger your pom pom will be.








STEP 4 > Use a pair of scissors to cut the string in between the two cardboard circles.








STEP 5 > This is what it looks like after cutting the yarn.








STEP 6 > Cut another piece of yarn and slide it inbetween the cardboard circles. Tie the strings and either cut or slide off the cardboard rings.









STEP 7 > Cut any extra long strings. You have your pom pom!
