Strawberry Pompoms
Mar 3, 2011 by Violet
After discovering how easy it was to make heart pompoms James suggested the most awesome idea: strawberry pompoms!!
This is what I ended up with on my first try, with a little tweaking it could be perfect :D


What you need:
- Red yarn
- White yarn
- Green yarn
- Something to make it on, I’m using an eyeshadow palette
- Small sharp scissors

Wrap the green yarn around one end of the palette. This is going to form the leaves at the top of the strawberry so only use a bit of yarn and keep it down one end like this:

Using the white yarn wrap it around the other end of the palette a couple of times:

Then wrap around a layer of the red until it’s all covered…

Then wrap the white around a couple more times…
and more red…

Basically you want to keep alternating and layering the white/red until you have a decent amount.

Pull it off the palette and hold around the middle.

Tie some yarn around the middle and leave a tail if you want to hang it somewhere.

Cut all of the loops and you should have something like this:

Start trimming! Cut the bottom into a point and then cut the rest of the yarn to be uniform.

After trimming mine looked like this!

Cute!

I want to make a whole pompom garden now hahaha!. |
So cute!!!! I will try this tomorrow for sure *-*
:D Good luck with it!
That is just too cute!
Thanks Vita!
This is adorable!! I love strawberry/fruit/food themed ANYTHING,so I am all over this! I want to hang one from my rearview mirror, lol.
Haha yes! This would make the perfect replacement to fuzzy dice haha!
These are just too cute! I love the idea! You definitely need to make a whole fruit bowl of pompom fruits :D Maybe not bananas though, that would be too hard XD
Now you’re making me think how I could possibly make a banana one *_*
fruit pom-pom balls! nice- they will last forever hehe
Haha yes!
these are so adorable!!!!
Thank you ^_^

Yes! Mini ones would make such cute hair accessories :D
Oh my GAWD! Those are adorable!
I’ll take 20.
And now you’ve got my noggin all up in a knot.
I need to figure out how to make pom-pom apples, and roses, and bows, and… and… and….
@o@
XD You should totally make a whole bunch of them!! A pompom rose would be freaking awesome if you could work it out!
:D OMG too cute!! I think I shall make a pink one X3
You might possibly be able to make a banana by stringing a few together :B
Haha that would be cute ^_^
