How to Make a Pom Pom

I used 4 different colors of yarn.
1.  Cut a piece of cardboard 3 1/2” square .  Begin to make the pom pom by wrapping your yarn around the cardboard. I went around 30 times for each of my pom poms. If you are using only one color yarn you will have to wrap about 100 times to get a mondo size pop pom.

2.  Once the yarn is wrapped around the cardboard, cut the ends.  Carefully remove from the cardboard.

3. Lay the wrapped yarn on an 8-inch piece of yarn and then tie it tightly around the wrapped yarn.  Make a double knot to secure.   You may want to have someone hold their finger over the knot as you tie to make sure you tie the yarn on as tightly as you can.

4.  Hold the 2 ends of the 8-inch piece of yarn that is wrapped around the pom pom  in one hand and place one scissor tip into the loops and start cutting the loops open.  Do not cut off the tied 8-inch piece of yarn, keep it long.  You need these ends to tie the pom pom onto your throw.  Once the loops are all open, give the pom pom a haircut with scissors shaping it into a nice round shape.  You can make it small and dense or large and fluffy.

How to Tie Pom Poms onto the Throw

I spaced the pom poms 6” apart.
Simply thread one of the end pieces from the 8-inch piece of yarn that is tied around the pom pom into a large eye needle.

Once the yarn is through the edge of the throw, remove the needle and tie the pom pom on using the other tied end.  Make a few knots so you know it will be secure.

It truly brightens up the room and it so cozy and warm.  <3

How are you staying warm and snuggly this Winter?  I am going to make a super simple and yum-o veggie soup for dinner tonight and eat it by the fire all wrapped up in my fun new throw.
