You can see what I mean in the video above.Ĭarefully slide the yarn off your fingers. Don’t knot it yet – just tie it tightly enough that it can hold everything together. Remember that 8 inch long piece of yarn between your middle fingers? Take the back end and pull it around to the top, sliding it between your middle fingers so it wraps around the middle of the windings of yarn. (If you’re using regular thickness yarn, you’ll want to wind it about 130 times.) If you’re using chunky yarn wind the yarn around your fingers about 70 times. Make sure you have it there when you wind the rest of the yarn. Slide the yarn piece between your middle fingers. Start by cutting an 8 inch long piece of yarn.

You can definitely use regular thickness yarn, but the thinner the yarn, the more you have to wind it around your fingers to get a full looking pom pom. I recommend using chunky yarn if you can – I linked to the exact yarn I used in the list above.
#MAKE POMPOM HOW TO#
I’m pretty sure these little sheep are going to join her collection shortly! Check out our video for how to make Pom Pom Sheep:
My 9 year old has been waiting very patiently for me to finish this post so she can play with these little guys! She has the pom pom dragons, and two pom pom penguins on her night table right now. And out of all the pom pom crafts I’ve done, these were the easiest to make! I had no idea how fun and easy pom pom crafts were!? These pom pom sheep are adorable. And because those little dragons were based on the dragon from How to Train Your Dragon, my 9 year old LOVED them. And then I made pom pom dragons a few weeks ago. The pom pom penguins I made earlier this year were just so cute. OK, I might be enjoying the pom pom crafts too much. Once everything is secure you'll want to cut and remove the cardboard and snip any uneven pieces of yarn until it's nice and fluffy and looking like the pom pom you were picturing.Aren’t these pom pom sheep adorable!? They’re so easy to make, and they’re such a fun little craft for springtime! You don’t need any special tools to make the DIY pom poms.
Leave long ends of the yarn so it can then be turned into a loop for attaching.
Take a long piece of yarn between the two circles and tie a tight knot in the center of the hole or ball, tying all the yarn strands together.This will result in broken pieces of yarn. Once the "disc" or cardboard is covered completely you will then put your scissors in between the two circles of cardboard and cut open the wound yarn around the outside edge.Wind the yarn evenly and try avoiding any gaps as you work your way around the circle. Be sure that the first round is relatively tight so you'll have a good base to work with. Take your yarn and wrap it around the circles and through the hole each time.Lay the circles together, one on top of the other without any overlap. You can always trim it down later, so always aim a little bigger at first. Size matters for this - the length from the hole to the edge of your circle is how long your yarn strands will be for your pom pom. Be sure to cut a small hole in the middle of each circle. On each of your two cardboard pieces, cut a round circle the exact same size.
