MIQUELRIUS 11689 – Pom Pom Pen, Pink/Blue, Model Bella Garden, Pack of 12

Product Information

This method is useful if you need very small pom poms about 1 inch wide, though this may vary depending on the width of your fork and how much you trim your pom pom down. As long as you’re counting the number of times you wrap your yarn, you end up with nice, uniform pom poms that can be made in just a few short minutes. What You Need For This Method: This method would come in handy if you needed a larger size pom pom. The only other thing you need to make this besides the usual yarn and scissors is two toilet paper tube rolls. If you don’t save your TP tubes for craft projects like I do, or you just don’t want to craft with something that’s spent so much time next to your toilet, you can also buy them online. Depending on how far you trim it down, it should yield a pom pom that’s about 3” wide. What You Need For This Method:

I’m sorry to hear your pom pom isn’t coming together but I’d be happy to help troubleshoot what might have gone wrong. My initial thought is that the middle string wasn’t tied tightly enough. It has to be tied very, very tightly and it can take some practice to get that part right. This is my absolute favorite method for making pom poms. Although out of all the methods in this article it’s technically the most expensive, but overall the pom pom makers are still fairly inexpensive. And if you are a crafter who loves using pom poms in your projects like I do, it is very well worth it. Out of all the DIY pom pom methods I’ve tried, these yield the best looking poms overall. I should also specify that I’m using the Clover brand pom pom makers. There are other brands out there that I’ve never used, so I can’t say how well any of those work. But I would highly recommend the Clover ones. What You Need For This Method: Cut a short length of yarn and place it in between your fingers (index and middle for a two or three finger pom and between your middle and ring for a four finger pom). Then wrap your main yarn around your fingers, making sure not to wrap it too tight. Wrap about 50 times for two fingers, 100 times for three fingers, and 150 times for four fingers. Bring the small piece of yarn forward and loosely tie around your bundle before carefully sliding it off your fingers. Then tie the piece as tightly as you can. After that, cut all the loops around the edge and trim the pom pom to your liking. I just LOVE pom poms. They are such an amazingly versatile component that can be used in so many crafting projects, both as an embellishment or as the main attraction. And while it can be easiest to buy them already pre-made, sometimes you need a very particular size or color for your project to be just perfect. In those situations, a DIY pom pom is just what you need.Making note taking more fun, whether at the office, school or during your free time. This fantastic pen is beautifully scented and really is the perfect addition to any pencil case.

With six different ways to make a DIY pom pom, whichever method will be best for you will most likely come down to personal preference. I think all of them work very well and have the potential to make very nice, uniform pom poms. However, I still prefer using my Clover pom pom makers not just because they make the best looking and most dense poms out of all these methods, but also because I don’t need to count my loops like in most of the other methods.

Since this article is a compilation of all the different DIY pom pom methods I’ve covered before, I’m only going to give very brief instructions on each one. However, under each method I will link to the original article that covers each one in further detail and with additional pictures. This method is great because it requires the least amount of supplies and you can also get three different size poms depending on how many fingers you use to wrap the yarn around. Two fingers will give you a pom pom about 1.25” wide. Three fingers gives a pom 1.5” wide. And four fingers will get you about a 2” pom. This may vary a bit depending on the size of your fingers and how much you trim your pom pom down. What You Need For This Method:
