![]() ![]() If for whatever reason your scissor become dull or they’re just not sharp enough while you’re trying to make your pom poms (trust me, you’ll know), take a large piece of tin foil and fold it up several times into a small square and cut the foil with your scissors about 5-6 times. Keep repeating the steps and make as many pom poms as you need/want. I got this particular wire wreath from Dollar Tree. Once you have your pom pom to your liking, cut another piece of yarn to fasten it to the wire wreath frame. However, I decided to keep mine more loose and frilly like a tassel to make it look more fun and firework-like. This will help to give it more of that typical pom pom look. You can always use two cardboard circles cut according to how big you want your pom pom to be and sandwich your pom pom (flip your pom pom so its now all spread out unlike shown above) between the cardboard rounds to trim it up. The closer you cut the pom pom down, the more traditional your pom pom will be. Next, take your scissors and slide them through the loops, one side at a time, and cut so you’ll have a frayed, tassel-like edge (like shown below). You will now have two loops on either side of the knot. Gently sliding the pom pom off from the spatula and keeping it together, tie the string around the center and tie tight. This piece will now be what you will use to tie off your pom pom. Now, cut that excess yarn off, right up against where you stopped wrapping. The more you wrap it around the spatula, the bigger and fluffier your pom pom will be.Īfter you have finished wrapping it, cut the yarn, leaving an excess about about 5-6 inches or so. Begin wrapping the yarn around the spatula (like shown below), about 25 times. For this project, I found the cutest sparkly Caron Simply Soft Party Yarn in red, white, and blue at Joann. You’ll need your spatula (any standard spatula out of your kitchen will do) and yarn. Once you have all of your supplies gathered together, it’s time to start building out the pom poms for this patriotic wreath.
