I saw a post on FB about making pompoms using a fork. So I thought I would try it. Usually I make pompoms using 2 circles of card with a hole cut out the middle, and it can be quite tricky for kids to get the knack of it. It also takes a bit of time to get right around the whole circle. I found the fork technique fantastic for making little pompoms, it was quick and simple and easy to tie them off.
These pompoms are great for using up scraps and leftover bits of wool.
You will need:
a fork
wool
scissors
Wrap the wool around the fork.
The more you wrap it, the bigger the pompom.
Cut a piece of wool to tie it off with. Poke through the middle rung of the fork and tie securely around the ball of wool.
Slide off the fork.
Snip through the loops of wool.
The finished pom-pom.
A variety of pom-poms in different colours. You can wrap two or more colours together at the same time, to create a multi-coloured pom-pom.
