How to make a pompom with a fork

Let me show you how easy it is to make pom poms with wool. First grab a fork and some yarn, wrap the yarn around the fork many times.

Thread a needle with yarn, thread it through the fork and around the yarn. Tie with a double knot.

Remove the yarn from the fork, cut through the loops of yarn. This method is the best for mini pom poms.

How to make a pompom with cardboard

Do you remember making pompoms with donut-shapDo you remember making pompoms with cardboard donut shaped as a child? Carefully threading the yarn through the donut hole? Simply cutting a slash through the donut frame makes this method super easy, a great way to make pom poms.

Use two circular items from around your home to draw your template. Your finished pompom will be the size of the larger item. Cut your template out.

Wrap the yarn tightly around the template, until you can’t fit any more yarn around the template.

Cut between the two pieces of cardboard, then wrap around through this opening between the two pieces of cardboard, pulling tight and finishing with a knot. Remove the cardboard template and trim as required.

Alternatively make faux fur pompoms.
