How to make a yarn pom pom with just yarn and scissors

Here is an easy way to make a yarn pom pom without any special tools or supplies. You just need yarn and scissors I love these embroidery scissors because I ve had them for years and they are still super sharp It makes the job even easier if you have super sharp scissors (just be careful not to snip your skin ) If you want a smaller pom pom, you can can trim it smaller. If you want a larger pom pom, then you ll have to find something larger than your hand to wrap the yarn around. Look in your kitchen for a large spatula or really you can use any object around your house, the process is the same. I used worsted weight acrylic yarn. The cotton yarn I ve used doesn t hold up when you tug on the tie string, it sort of just breaks apart. I haven t tried making pom poms with other yarns.
