It’s time to make some fun and pretty pom-poms! And it’s actually really easy! Anyone can join.

A pom-pom maker is a great tool if you need some help making pom-poms, and all you need is yarn and some scissors. Pom-poms are a great way to use all that lovely scrap yarn you have lying around, and a pom-pom is a cute little detail you can add to so many different projects. You could, e.g., attach them to the corners of a homemade cushion, add a fun little fluff-ball to your beanie, or use them as tassels on the end of your scarf. A cute little pom-pom mobile is also an adorable addition to any nursery!

This is a set of pom-pom makers that gives you 4 different pom-pom sizes to work with.

You will find instructions in English, German, and Danish on the packaging. But you can also find it below.

How to make a pom-pom with a pom-pom maker:

1. The two halves of the pom-pom maker need to be attached at the middle before you start. 

2. Pull two half-circles out at the same time so that you can work the yarn around them.

3. Work the yarn around both half-circles, but not too tight. Use one color of yarn or mix several colors together to achieve a more exciting look.

4. Now, pull the two other half-circles out and do the same with them.

5. Join the pom-pom maker halves to form a full circle.

6. Use scissors to cut the pom-pom open. Cut along the outer rim in the hollow between the two halves.

7. Work an end of yarn into the hollow space between the two halves, tie a knot, and tighten it well.

8. Open the half-circles again and separate the two halves by gently pulling them apart from the center of the pom-pom maker. You may have to wiggle them a bit to separate them.

9. Trim the pom-pom with scissors to make it nice and even.
