Cut out a rectangular piece of cardboard. The longer the length, the bigger the Pom Pom ✂️
Cut out a gap down the center of the cardboard
Hold down the loose end of the ball of yarn to the cardboard & begin wrapping it around
Continue wrapping the yarn around the cardboard - the more rounds you go, the denser (& nicer!) the pom pom! 💞
When you’re happy with the amount of yarn, snip off the end still attached to the ball of yarn 🧶
Using the loose end of the yarn, push through the hole in the cardboard & come back up the other side
Tie a knot, pulling tightly at the ends (the tighter the better!)
Thread the end back through the gap in the cardboard again & flip over
Tie a knot again, pulling tightly & double the knot to secure it
Wriggle the yarn off of the cardboard
Put scissors through the loops on one side & cut through
Repeat on the other side, making sure you cut through every loop
Ruffle out the pom pom. You can stop here if you’re happy with this look 😄
Or, ur you want it more fuzzy 🐻, trim the pom pom, remembering to keep to its spherical shape
When you’re happy with how they look, you have yourself a lovely pom pom! 🥰
