VIDEO TUTORIAL: HOW TO MAKE A POM POM (USING CLOVER) If you’re ready to see how quick and easy it is to make perfect pom poms every time, then dive into the video tutorial below! In the video tutorial, I opted to use 100% acrylic yarn to show you that it’s more than possible to produce gorgeous, fluffy pom poms with this type of yarn. The Clover brand, in particular, is very easy to use (and saves A LOT of time) and is more than capable of producing round, squishy pom poms. I made the switch to using a ready made pom pom maker a few years ago and I’ve never looked back! If you’ve made pom poms out of cardboard circles before then you’ll know how time consuming (and sometimes frustrating) this can be. I held two yarns together as I wound them around the pompom maker.Would you like to make perfectly-shaped, round, fluffy pom poms? In this VIDEO tutorial, I’ll show you how to make a pom pom using the Clover brand! You can hold two (or more!) different colours at the same time to get a multicoloured pompom. For this one I held a metallic embroidery thread double with the red yarn for a sparkly festive effect. Generally speaking, the smaller the pompom, the smaller the maximum thickness yarn you can use, if you use anything too big you will run out of room and end up with a very sparse looking pom pom!Īdd other fun fibres in with your yarn for contrast. Can you tell which is which? 4 ply is on the left! The 4 ply one takes longer to make, but because there are more cut ends in the same size pompom, it has a smoother and denser feeling. Here are two pompoms made with the same Clover maker, using the same colour yarn, but in 4 ply/fingering and 8 ply/DK. You can change the thickness of the yarn to get a different density. There are so many ways you can make your pompoms unique and suitable for whatever you want to do with them! However it also doesn’t require you to be able to draw two circles of the right diameter, so it is super easy to get started! This formerly oblong pompom has been trimmed to the right size. It needed more trimming than other techniques to get a nice shape. I found that this technique made a more unevenly shaped pompom fresh off the cardboard.

If you didn’t add the slot and yarn, you can slide the bundle off and tie it after you have removed it. Once you have finished winding, tie the piece of yarn you slid through the slot at the beginning around the middle of your yarn. Don’t wind too tight or you will start to collapse the cardboard. Then cut a 10cm length of yarn and slide into the slot you’ve created. ![]() I recommend cutting a partial slit from one end of the cardboard to the midpoint. You’ll need lots of extra yarn to accommodate trimming it down to the right shape. Cut a single rectangle that is a bit wider than your desired size. ![]()
