Instructions:
- Cut a piece of yarn about 12 inches long.
- Set aside.
- Wrap yarn around all four fingers to make a large bundle (I wrapped it about 150 times).
- Cut yarn leaving a tail and careful slide the bundle off of your fingers.
- Lay the cut piece of yarn out on a flat surface.
- Place the bundle in the center of the piece of yarn then tie the ends tightly.
- Cut all loops (except the one holding it together).
- Using scissors shape the yarn into a 3-D egg shape–more rounded bottom with a tapered top.
- Start with the general shape then gradually work your way inwards making smaller more precise cuts.
- As you trim, be sure to fluff the pom pom every now and then to ensure there are no long pieces of yarn popping out.
- Use as is or add a loop if you want to hang it up!
