Pompom Puff Ball
Since I found out how to make a pompom, I've been making them for fun. I find them really fun to make. I really like adding different colors and patterns.
Supplies I Used:
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Cardboard
- Coaster(you can use something else that is a circle shape)
- String/yarn
Trace and Cut Out Two Circles:
I used a small coaster to trace my circles but you can use something else that is circle shaped. When you are done tracing out your circles, cut them out.
Cut Out the Middle:
Cut a hole in the middle of the circle to make a doughnut shape. You can use something to trace it to make it easier.
Tie Together:
Tie the cardboard doughnuts together by a string.
Start Wrapping the String Around the Doughnuts:
Add Another Color (this Is Optional):
You can add another color by tying a different color string to the color you were using before. Then you keep wrapping the string/yarn around the doughnuts until you want to change colors again.
*You do not have to add different colors.
Wrap Around the Doughnut Until Thick:
Keep wrapping the string/yarn around the doughnuts until you can hardly fit the string/yarn through. You can add more colors if you want to.
Cutting:
Cut the string/yarn at the edges of the doughnuts. Make sure to not cut the cardboard part of the doughnut.
Tying It Together:
Tie in between the two pieces of cardboard. Make sure to tie tightly a few times. The last tie you should have a good knot.
Rip or Cut the Cardboard:
Rip or cut the cardboard doughnuts off. Make sure to do this gently.
Tidying Up:
Puff up your pompom an trim any too long strings/yarns.
*You can cut the long string off if you want.
You are done!
Have fun with your pompoms!
