Pom Pom Tutorial
There are many methods to make a pom pom but, I found this one to be the easiest to use. Also, it works best when you want to use multiple colors of yarn and layer them. It’s easy to make the board and then you can curl up with this craft anywhere.

Final Tips:
- Use up scraps from other yarn projects by wrapping them in layers. Just trim the uneven ends after you are done.
- To make a larger pom pom, just make your ring larger. You can use a bowl or dessert plate as a template for a larger one.
- Keep the center strings long if you want to tie the pom pom to something. This makes it easier to use on a project like a garland.
