You will need
·
Yarn in one or more colours
·
Cardboard for templates (cereal packets are
good)
·
Scissors for paper
·
Sharp scissors for cutting yarn
1.
Draw round a circular object on the cardboard to
make a template. Old CDs are a perfect size to make a big PomPom. Draw a
smaller circle in the centre. A small roll of tape is a good size.
2.
Cut out the template and make a second one.
3.
Place the two templates together. Cut two or
three pieces of yarn about 4m long. You will discover over time what kind of
length you like to work with. To make the PomPom quicker, you can work with two
or three strands at once. They do not need to be the same colour.
4.
Wrap the yarn round the templates, going through
the hole in the centre and over the outside edge. Cut more yarn as necessary
and repeat until the hole in the centre is basically filled.
5.
Holding the PomPom carefully, start snipping
into outside edge of the wool, making sure that the yarn does not fall out. Cut
through all of the yarn.
6.
Cut a length of yarn and insert it between the
two templates, pulling tight, then knotting several times to hold all the yarn
of the PomPom in place.
7.
Remove the templates by cutting through them
from the edge to the centre. The templates can be re-used a number of times.
