I made 48 pom poms for my JV cheerleading squad back in 1975 and you would think I’d remember the technique forever lol! When a project called for pom poms, I searched YT and found a bunch of methods, but none come close to doing as good a job as this oldie but goody! Thanks for sharing and the trip down memory lane!
Just have to update this: So after watching this refresher video, I spent hours wrapping yarn around a giant 7” doughnut template for an enormous pom pom and manicuring it into a perfect sphere. I attached it to the hat I’d just completed and set it on the bathroom counter to brush out my hair. When I turned around, my new hat was on the floor between the enormous paws of my 150# Presa Canario (a type of Mastiff) and my pom pom was GONE! But not the thousands of tiny strands of yarn that it was made of! It was literally a yarn avalanche! Apparently dogs really really enjoy pom poms a lot too!
Thank you for teaching us how to make it, instead of just showing us! 🙌🏽 Ps- If you place a string in between the two layers of cardboard before you start wrapping, you eliminate the fiddling at the end to tie it all up. Enjoy!
I’m one of five sisters, we used to spend winter evenings when we were small knitting “bobble hats”. This is exactly the method we used to make the bobbles or Pom Poms in the 1950’s.
Thank you! I am making these with my 4 year old daughter today. My mum tried to explain over video call but I hadn't quite 'got' it. This has helped so much :)
Before I watching this video, I searching pompom makers online, and then I get an briliant idea, to watch DIY pompom makers, to save my money 😂 thank you for this tutorial so helpful
I had no idea what a pompom was until watching this video. This is so cute. I might just try this one with the yarn we've had for decades. I've been watching your videos ever since I got myself a sewing kit for my cloths a couple days ago. I saved your "Craft Basics" playlist. You have a very calming voice and pleasant style of teaching. I just wanted you to know that. Cheers!
I'm sorry to comment here but I had to thank you. I've been trying for years to find marzipan pigs for new years and just couldn't. I figured I could make them, maybe, and stumbled across your video. You definitely make it seem doable, but I'm also disabled and have chronic pain so I was really afraid to try. My son and I whipped out 4 respectably cute piggies just in time for the New Year. So thank you! I posted them on Facebook and I've been getting friends and family commenting all day about how cute they are! Posting the link in case any of them want to try. They are so fun and so cute. And even my angry old body did it. Yay!
This is so helpful! I make Pom Pom jewelry and i started with premade ones because It was simpler and cheaper for the small amount i was making, now i know that they sell, making them will be cheaper, and ill be able to make a bigger variety! Thank you 💕
Thank you for that. Nice hearing an 'English' accent on TH-cam for a change. I used to make PomPoms like this when I was a child. Though I didn't cut a slot, we would sew the yarn through the hole, and fill the hole up. (I think I like this way...)
This video is wonderful. I'm making a lot of stuff this year for Christmas and you know, living in Canada, toques are a must! The pom pom is just the final touch.
This is how I used to make them as a kid - except we didn't cut a gap - just two card circles with hole in middle - thread wool using a needle. I cannot believe people actually spend money on buying a pom pom maker! Good for you - yours turn out great!
So this is a much better way then I learned as a child! We used closed circles so you have to put your yarn trough the little circle every time! Thanks😀
That was brilliant.I was taught to make pom-poms using cardboard circles but we cut a hole in each.That meant you had to thread the wool through the hole using lengths at a time.This cutting a "keyhole"is so much easier.Also no waste compared to other methods .
Omg Thank you so much! I have tried to do this so many times in billions of different methods but I was finally able to make something that actually resembled a circle 😂😅 this is probably the best method for this Thank you soo much 💕✨
Thank you! I made a perfect Pom Pom. I realized I need to make the center hole not too big or Pom Pom won't be thick enough. So I recut cardboard and came out perfect!
We had this in elementary school back then. That was the best thing I have learned actually xD Later I did a really big fluffy one for myself. Coming back now to see if I remember correctly how it worked after all these years. Thank you :)
If you are just tuning in to this video like I am. Here is a tip! After you are done cutting out your pom pom maker, wrap each piece with duct tape and make sure that the top is smooth. Then that way as you are cutting it, you are not getting your scissors stuck in the miniature holes of the cardboard that you see on the side :)
Just one tip: before you begin to cut it, turn the circles against each other to close the gap and nothing will fall apart. You can also close the gap and wrap this little part up before you cut it. It's the only technique I knew, we made lots and lots of it in kindergarten an school. A few days ago I stumbled across some videos showing other techniques but it seems as if they need all manual trimming or are very hard to do and the PomPoms can fall into pieces. I didn't even thought about that such problems could occur, because I never experienced anything like this. Since then I'm watching videos about PomPoms, didn't made one in the last 25(?) years and don't want to, but I'm curious about the different ways to make them. I still prefer this method, just for very, very tiny maybe not. Great that you show this way of doing it, I can say that even a 3yr old will get a very pretty and lasting PomPom!
We did this in class because in the main hall we always have hoops for each class to hang Xmas stuff on. We are doing this and we all love it sooo much! I will be making some more for my Xmas tree 😁 thank you
omg this made the BEST pompom tysm
Aww thank you!!

Thank you that's a helpful tip

Thank you 😍
Most Easy way of making pom pom...👍🏻
Thank you👍🏻👍🏻
It looks fun. Thank you for sharing this tricky method. 💜
Edit:I cut those sharp edges and made them a little bit round shape. It's easier to wrap it.
So pleased you like the video!
Thank you for that. Nice hearing an 'English' accent on TH-cam for a change. I used to make PomPoms like this when I was a child. Though I didn't cut a slot, we would sew the yarn through the hole, and fill the hole up. (I think I like this way...)
Yes! Same!! Takes forever tot get the wool through!!! Maybe make the slot a little smaller than I did though!
This video is wonderful. I'm making a lot of stuff this year for Christmas and you know, living in Canada, toques are a must! The pom pom is just the final touch.
This is how I used to make them as a kid - except we didn't cut a gap - just two card circles
with hole in middle - thread wool using a needle. I cannot believe people actually spend money on buying a pom pom maker! Good for you - yours turn out great!
Used to make them as a kid accually forgot my first attempt was a fail thank you.🌬💗
Me too
So this is a much better way then I learned as a child! We used
closed circles so you have to put your yarn trough the little circle every time! Thanks😀
+Tonnie Kuipers oh that takes forever!!!!
