Step 1
Gather materials: cardboard, scissors and yarn.
-
Step 2
Cut two identical cardboard circles that are the desired pompom size.
-
Step 3
Cut holes in the center of both circles so that the cardboard circles resemble flat doughnuts. The larger the hole, the fuller the pompom.
-
Step 4
Place the two cardboard circles one on top of the other.
-
Step 5
Cut several strands of your chosen yarn to a manageable length.
-
Step 6
Place one strand at the center hole and wrap yarn from the center to the edge and back to the center again. Continue wrapping yarn in this manner until the center hole is packed with yarn. Distribute yarn evenly around the circle.
-
Step 7
Insert the blade of the scissors through the yarn and in between the outside edges of the cardboard circles. Cut evenly around the circle until all the yarn has been cut.
-
Step 8
Pull the cards apart slightly and wrap a length of yarn tightly between the cards - around the middle of the yarn strands - a few times. Secure the yarn tie with a double knot. Leave a trailing end of yarn long enough to hang the pompom with.
-
Step 9
Adjust and fluff the pompom. Trim away any excess yarn.
