How to Make Pom Poms With Cardboard
How to Make Pom Poms With Cardboard
"If you knit or crochet a lot, you may need a pom pom or two to finish off your project. Though you can purchase pom pom makers at the craft store, it is also very easy and cheap to make your own pom pom templates the old fashioned way. All you need is an empty cereal box, a large blunt needle and yarn of your choice. The best part is that you can make poms poms in all different sizes. The tutorial is illustrated so it is easier to follow."

I was probably in Girl Scouts when I first encountered this technique. It is definitely superior to just wrapping yarn around a cardboard square. It works on the same principle as the commercial pom makers, but its a royal pain to keep wrapping around the donut shaped circles. I have several pairs of the Clover pom makers, and they are well worth the modest price. I just spotted a complete set at JoAnns for under $20. My next 60% off coupon purchase!
