Who wants to make some pom pom garland?
I asked my hubby for these Large Clover Pom Pom makers and the Small Clover Pom Pom makers. They were supposed to be a part of my birthday gift, but someone {ahem} left the receipt out for mwah to see. YAY for me!! Boo for hubby!! I was so excited to get these beauties in the mail…
…and boy do they make pom-pom making fun and easy!!
Now, you don’t have to run out and buy these clever little gadgets. You can use your hands/fingers, the old school conventional method, or the fork method. However you decide to make them, let’s grab some yarn and make some pom-poms!
I’ll show you in pictures how I used the Clover pom pom makers.
It will give you an idea of how easy it is to use…
and you’ll want to buy one {giggle}.
The last step is wrapping that yarn around the center, tying and knotting. Voila!
So, then you make lots and lots of pom poms — and use them to make pretty things, such as this sweet pom-pom garland. I {love} the pink, green and white. If I had to ‘title’ this one — I’d say Watermelon Fun. It makes me think of Summer, Watermelons and a down right good time!
The skies the limit… in the picture at the top of this post, I kept the extra yarn on the pom poms (from the piece of yarn that is used to tie/hold it all together). I think it adds a little flair; however, they can easily be snipped off for a clean look, as you can see with the Watermelon Pom Pom Garland Fun. I’m excited to add some of these to my shop.
What have you used yarn pom poms for?

My Mom taught me to make yarn pom poms by making two donut like shapes from scrap cardboard then wrapping the yarn around the inner center of the cardboard donut and cutting the yarn loops to bind it with a strand of yarn then trim into a puffy ball.
