hello in this tutorial I show you how to make pompoms like this, are easy to make and are used to decorate scarves or whatever you want
Material
scissors, pen or pencil, yarn, box of cardboard it can be whatever you want
a template where you have a circle of the size you want the pompom and another circle in the center of the half size
I have one of 7 cm and the inside measures 3.5 cm
if you want to download this template, you can do it on the link I left
take the template and decide which one you will use, I'll use the bigger
cut it out
when you finish verify you cut well
you should have something like this then cut the inside
fold a little the figure, make a small cut and insert the scissors and cut out the circle
when you finish you must have something like this
take the cardboard
put the circle and trace the outline
when you finish, cut the inside
then the inside
you must have something like this, do the same to make another circle
those are the molds that we are going to use to make the pompoms
try to make them equal, cut them with scissors
to do this, make a hole in the center and cut
do it carefully because the cardboard is thicker and you can cut wrong or cut yourself
first you can cut a piece
and then do it over the line
cut the irregular edges
do the same with the other
when you finish, take the yarn and verify it fits inside the circle
if it doesn´t fit, make a small ball that fits inside the circle
take the 2 circles and join them
take the tip of the yarn and entangle this way between the 2 circles
I'm not doing too tight, to get it right, you must separate both circles
do it not to tighten
if you use more yarn you´ll have it more fluffy but it you use less yarn you´ll have a thin pompom
you should have something like this, join the yarn to press, you can make 2 layers
I´m going to finish it, remember that you must separate the circles
when you reach the edge, move the yarn because if you use more yarn it´s better
continue entangling and give more laps
it´s easier if you cut a large piece of yarn
I feel that it´s faster
continue entangling without tighten too much
when you have this gap, entangle but now go back to have more yarn
when you finish, cut the excess
with this piece we are going to close
open the circles and cut the strips of yarn passing the scissors through the middle
when you finish you should have something like this
pass the yarn through the middle of the circles
and make a knot
first put them equal
and make the knot
do it as strong as you can
you can give another knot
remove the yarn through the middle
you can make another knot
tousle
if you look it´s not equal, cut the yarns, you can give the shape you prefer
you must have something like this, if you use thicker yarn it will be more fluffy
I made another black with a lot of yarn and also I made this with less yarn and it looks ugly
