My result…

There are various ways to make pompoms, when I was a kid we cut 2 cardboard circles and threaded the yarn through. Now that I’m older the novelty of cutting out cardboard circles has worn off so I take the lazy way:

What you need:

• Yarn
• Scissors/small sharp nail scissors
• Something hard which is roughly the diameter you want the finished pompom to be, I used an eyeshadow palette you could just use your fingers.

Start wrapping the yarn around the eyeshadow.

Keep wrapping until you have a decent amount like this:

Slide the yarn off…

Hold it like this…

Use another piece of yarn to tie around the middle tightly or if you want to take the easier way: a thin rubber band. If you want to hang it off something you can leave the piece of yarn long.

Cut all of the loops…

And it will look like this:

Repeat on the other side and you have a basic pompom!

Now it’s time to trim it into a heart! Use you scissors to cut the bottom into a basic point.

Like this…

Then cut a wedge out of the top to make a heart.

Now you’ve got the basic shape it’s time to trim with some small sharp scissors until it’s perfect.

Her you can see I’ve een working on the right side while the left is still long and messy:

And done!

You might want put down a sheet of paper or something to catch all the fluff that you’re cutting off XD

Very cute craft project and once you get in the swing of things they don’t take very long to make 😀

Now to think of where to hang them all!
