Yarn Crafts for Kids: How to Make Yarn Pom Poms
What better than a way to make your very own home-made pom poms. As long as you have yarn, wool or string you will never run out of pom poms!
Craft Supplies:
- Ball of yarn (color of your choice)
- Scissors
- Fork (large and small)
Step #1:
Wrap your yarn around the fork. The size of the fork determines the size of your pom pom (the larger the fork the larger the pom pom)
You will wrap it around approximately 40-50 times.
Step #2:
Once you have wrapped the yarn around enough times, thread it through the center of the tines (prongs) near the inner part of the fork.
Step #3:
Pull the entire thing off the fork. Hold it carefully so it doesn’t unweave itself. Tie this center string in a knot around your 40-50 wraps of yarn.
Step #4:
On each side of your knotted string you will have loops. Cut these loops in half.
Step #5:
Fluff out the strings to make your pom pom.
You can also trim some pieces if it is uneven anywhere.
Now you have a home-made pom pom and the start to many other crafts! I especially love my Yarn Octopus craft!
