Isn't it amazing how something as simple as a mini pom pom can bring so much joy? We recently crafted a bunch of these tiny, fluffy treasures for a fun project I'm working on. To our surprise, the kids loved them too—so much so that they ended up making their own. It turns out, creating these pom poms is incredibly easy and requires just a few basic items you likely already have at home. Who knew you could turn a fork into such a creative tool?!
Supplies Needed //
Yarn
Scissors
A fork
Step One // Start by cutting a short length of yarn, about six to eight inches long. Set this aside for now—it'll come in handy later when securing your pom pom.
Step Two // Begin wrapping your yarn tightly around the tines of your fork. The more wraps you do, the fuller your pom pom will become. For beginners or younger crafters, 30 wraps work well for a smaller, looser pom. However, for a denser, more substantial pom pom, aim for around 60 wraps. Trust me, the extra effort is worth it!
Step Three // Once you're satisfied with the amount of yarn you've wrapped, grab the spare piece of yarn you set aside earlier. Thread it through the middle tines of the fork and tie it securely around the bundled yarn. This step is crucial for keeping everything intact while you remove the pom pom from the fork.
Step Four // After tying the initial knot, carefully slide the wrapped yarn off the fork. Pull the tied yarn snugly and tie it into a tight knot. Trim away any excess yarn still connected to the ball.
Step Five // With your pom pom now secured, take your scissors and snip through the loops on both sides of the tied yarn. Be careful not to cut the main strand holding everything together. Gently fluff out your pom pom until it looks perfectly round and adorable.
And voilà ! You now have a delightful mini pom pom ready to decorate anything you desire. These little guys are fantastic for adding a touch of whimsy to accessories like hair clips, hats, or even belts. Imagine stringing them together into a festive garland for holidays like Valentine's Day or Christmas—or even turning them into ornaments for a unique tree display.
Stay tuned for a sneak peek at how I incorporated these pom poms into my latest project. Spoiler alert: there was definitely some friendly competition involved (picture a mini snowball fight without the chill).
