Supplies
Yarn
Crepe or tissue paper (optional — for leaves)
Scissors
Step 1. Gather the Yarn
To make the pom pom for the flower, begin by wrapping the yarn around something, such as your fingers or a toilet paper roll. Make sure, whatever it is, that sliding the yarn off won’t be difficult after.
Step 2. Finish the Yarn Wrap
Once you have as much yarn wrapped around as you’d like, slide the roll off your fingers (or other object). The more yarn there is, the thicker and fuller the pom pom will be.
Step 3. Remove the Wrap From the Yarn Ball
The third step is to simply cut the strand of yarn attaching to the original yarn ball. Wrap the end onto the roll (not shown in picture).
Step 4. Cut Another Yarn Strand
Cut another strand of yarn about a foot long, or longer.
Step 5. Secure the New Piece Around the Yarn Bundle
Take the strand of yarn, and carefully wrap it around the roll you created, making sure it’s perpendicular to the strands on the roll. Double knot to secure it around the roll as tight as possible.
Step 6. Cut the New Loops Apart
There will now be loops of yarn on both sides of the pom pom. Take scissors and cut through all the loops.
Step 7. Trim Your Pom Pom
Trim the pom pom until it’s the size and thickness you’d like it to be.
Step 8. Cut the Stem
Using wire cutters, cut a piece of wire slightly longer than the desired length you’d like your stem to be.
Step 9. Tightly Wrap the Wire Around the Pom Pom Flower
Wrap one end of the wire around the pom pom tightly enough so it’s not visible.
Step 10. Twist the Wire to Finish the Stem
Take the end and twist it around the strand to secure. You may also cut leaves out of tissue or crepe paper, but I decided not to.
The flower is now finished! Make more to create a beautiful bouquet of pom pom flowers! I love these for decorating the house. No watering or care required to maintain their beauty. You can also use these pom poms to make a gorgeous garland for hanging on the wall.
