Episode 12 -- Pom Poms & Kid's Crafts

Tool of the Week -- Clover Pom-Pom Maker

Whether you call them pom pom's or pom pons, this little gadget will help you make them quickly and easily!

Two to a package -- I used the 1 5/8" size for my first attempt.

Just wrap the yarn around each end -- you are probably supposed to do it neatly, but I just wrapped it on there kind of randomly.

Then you close it up and cut along the groove on each side.  Use sharp pointed scissors -- I used my office scissors and it wasn't easy.

Tie it off through the middle of the contraption -- sewing thread would have been a better choice than yarn ere.  Open the whole thing up and you have a Pom Pom.

After a quick trim, you are all finished!

I just bought those in ALL the sizes the other day. So much more fun than messing around with cardboard!
