Hey guys!
Had some time on my hands recently so I experimented making some pom-poms! I really enjoy fluffy, poofy things so this was very fun for me.
Found this book on the Recommended shelf in the library and I just couldn't resist it flipping through it and bringing it home.
Turns out that making a pompom is easy! You can do it with kids too!
You just need a few materials:
- Yarn
(I got mine from Daiso.) - Cardboard to make a template
- Sharp scissors
Basically you make a donut hole template and wrap yarn around it. Then you cut up the yarn and tie it up, maybe trim it a little.. Haha you can Google and YouTube some videos for clearer instructions!

| This was the first pom I made. Can definitely make a neater and denser one! Used this to make the fox tail in the end. |
 |
| My second pom with two colours! Improved eh?! |
 |
| I actually preferred this plastic template, it's easier for me to slide the yarn in and out. Seems to hold the shape better. |
When I was done with the second pom, I made some ears! You'll need to needle felt or use regular felt here. I have all these supplies on hand because I once went through a needle felting phase (also fuelled by Daiso kits, lol.)
The final product! I love my Floofy Baby fox! Kawaii desu ne?
Here are some cute pics from the book! I love these animal poms. They look so fluffy!
Resisting a trip to Daiso now in case I go crazy and buy lots of yarn home for more projects. I have a lot of felting wool left so maybe I should make more needle felt animals instead.
I'm also learning how to knit from the leftover orange yarn and some knitting needle sticks I bought years ago. Knitting is not for the faint-hearted! I don't know how people can watch TV and knit, it takes so much concentration from me. Hopefully I will complete a scarf one day?!?!? And I want to learn crochet as well, just to make a amigurimi Kiirotori (Rilakkuma's chick friend.)
Bye for now!!
Love,
Skye
