Total Time1 hour 30 minutes
Yield: 1 garland
Cost: $10-$15

Equipment

  • Pair of scissors
  • pom pom maker
  • needle

Materials

  • 1 spool yarn any color of your choice
  • 1 length embroidery thread

Instructions

  • Wrap the yarn around the side of the pom pom maker. It depends on the thickness of the yarn you're using, but I usually get around 60 wraps. Leaving off from the open edge loop to the other side of the pom maker, and do 60 more twists. Or adjust to the thickness you prefer. Cut off the yarn, then cut the yarn in half across the middle of the pom maker.
  • Tie another piece of yarn around the cut and knot it.
  • After you cut your yarn and knot it, take apart the pom maker by 'unlocking it' (pulling apart the green tabs in this case or where you closed it previously). Then you take apart the middle circle pieces to release it.
  • I usually tighten the yarn that ties it together at this point. You'll want to fluff it out a bit and trim the edges of the yarn too.
  • Lay out your pattern in poms and thread your needle. Push the needle through the center of the pom and string it through. String your poms until it's your desired length.
