Pom Pom – 6 Ways to Make Them and How to Attach Them

A pom pom is easy to make and easy to use. I have learned 6 different methods to make them. Some you will already know and some will be new and maybe a little crazy to you. When possible I like to give folks options.

The application for this craft is boundless. Adults, kids and everybody in between loves pom-poms. I’ve also made a video to help with the oddest of all methods. Hope you enjoy and benefit from this information. By the way, I do highly recommend a good pair of really sharp scissors .

Pom Pom Made with a Square
Hey, you can get a circle out of a square. Here is a Free tool I’m sure you have lying around the house. Another cool method. You can find the complete tutorial: Here  : Art Projects for Kids is a great website not just for pom-poms but a lot of other stuff you and your kids would really like.

Check out The PDF Shop ! Kathy Barbro is a cool artist who seems to have an endless supply of craft ideas, plus she likes Andy Warhol which makes her extra special to me.

Pom Pom : Made with Cardboard
This is just plain awesome. You recycle and you get pom-poms. The world can almost be perfect. I most admit I don’t use this method often enough. I did become VERY fond of it when I needed to supply a troop of Girl Scouts with pom-pom makers. You too can be rescued with the complete instructions: Here

Make a Pom Pom on a Loom
I have recently learned how to make pom poms on a flower loom. I quickly became obsessed  Its easy, fun and a lot quicker then I would have ever imagined.

I so loved this pom pom that I have put it not just on top of my hats but also on the side of some of my loom knit hats, the way I would put a flower.

Just beautiful. For complete instructions: Click Here

.
Pom Pom Made with the Clover
I sometimes feel guilty in saying that this is one of my favorite methods. I like uniformity and I get that with this tool. I can control the size of my pom-poms almost to the exact dimension. It’s not a high price but cost is cost when you consider that you don’t have to pay  anything, like in zero dollars with the other 4 methods. In fact you get to recycle with the cardboard. Well at least I can say that I do on occasion use anyone of these listed methods. You choose what works best for you – not me.

Use Pom Poms as Animal Ears 

 

 You can always change the position of the pom-poms of your hat to get a different effect.

These little pom-poms were made for my Mouse Hats. I get frustrated trying to knit animal ears so I looked for an easier method and making pom-poms with the Clover was the best thing I could think of.
