Using a sharp pair of scissors, (this would be a great time to pull our your fabric scissors if you have any!) carefully cut the loops of yarn, working your way around the entire circle, until all the loops have been cut. Tie another knot (you should have a double knot now) to hold it all together. If it helps, you can press your finger on the knot to make sure it’s held tight while you tie.

Then pull the ends of that 8 inch long piece of yarn as tightly as you can. You can see what I mean in the video above.Ĭarefully slide the yarn off your fingers. Don’t knot it yet – just tie it tightly enough that it can hold everything together. Remember that 8 inch long piece of yarn between your middle fingers? Take the back end and pull it around to the top, sliding it between your middle fingers so it wraps around the middle of the windings of yarn. (If you’re using regular thickness yarn, you’ll want to wind it about 130 times.) If you’re using chunky yarn wind the yarn around your fingers about 70 times. Make sure you have it there when you wind the rest of the yarn. Slide the yarn piece between your middle fingers. Start by cutting an 8 inch long piece of yarn.

You can definitely use regular thickness yarn, but the thinner the yarn, the more you have to wind it around your fingers to get a full looking pom pom. I recommend using chunky yarn if you can – I linked to the exact yarn I used in the list above.

My 9 year old has been waiting very patiently for me to finish this post so she can play with these little guys! She has the pom pom dragons, and two pom pom penguins on her night table right now. And out of all the pom pom crafts I’ve done, these were the easiest to make! I had no idea how fun and easy pom pom crafts were!? These pom pom sheep are adorable. And because those little dragons were based on the dragon from How to Train Your Dragon, my 9 year old LOVED them. And then I made pom pom dragons a few weeks ago. The pom pom penguins I made earlier this year were just so cute. OK, I might be enjoying the pom pom crafts too much.
