Have you ever made a pom pom for a hat and had it just fall apart? It is so frustrating to go through all that work just to have the pom pom fall apart. Not to mention how unsafe that is for a kid's hat. In this video I show you my technique for making pompoms that stay together.
Pom Poms that fall apart drive me crazy. In this video I show you how I make my pom poms so they stay together better.
Brilliant!! Simple and effective. It works for me. I have thrown away my pom-pompom rings.
Thank you.
@@JymThomas80 Thank you. Those ring pompom makers drive me crazy.
wasted a whole bunch of yarn until I found your tutorial and finally got one that stayed put!! great tip on the surgeons knot and tying it in both directions
I know that frustration. I’m glad my tips worked for you. 🎄
You are a genius!!! I was so angry my pom poms were pulling apart and you have solved the problem easily. Thank you so much x
Thank you. I hope your poms stay together now for you.
Thanks for the tip about tying both ways instead of one way so your technically making a + and it will add double securement tightness to the pompom thank you!
Thank you so much for this great video. My daughter and I were getting so frustrated with all of our pom poms falling apart! This is a Total Game Changer! My 11 year old has now been making pom poms all afternoon. :-)
That’s awesome! 🦩
Best pom pom I've made! Thank you!!
Awesome!! You’re welcome
Thank you so much! I have been trying for ages (unsuccessfully) to make a 2 inch pompom for a hat for my baby grandson. Then I found your tutorial! Using my small mobile phone I wrapped 50 times. Perfect. I am so pleased with it. Thank you!
I’m so glad my video helped! Pompoms that fall apart are frustrating and unsafe. Thank you for visiting my craft room!
I love the tip about tying twice in a different direction. New to me. Thank you for making this excellent tutorial.
So glad I found this video. Had seen another about making pom poms that don't fall apart, but, they used a store bought pom pom maker which allows you to tie the center part tighter than normal. I was wondering if these pom poms could be made without that particular maker. TYSM for sharing this video with us.
I’m so happy you found my video. I have a few of those store bought pom pom makers. I’ve never enjoyed the way you make a pom pom using them. Not to mention the fact that I’m always misplacing the tool. By using whatever I have on hand I can also change the size of my pom pom. I hope this little tip works for you.
Excellent I quit making pom poms years ago cuz they always were skimpy and fell apart. Now ill try again. Thanks so much Robin have a great weekend.
Bev Cote' Pom Poms take a lot of yarn and it’s such a waste when they fall apart. I hope you’re staying warm this weekend.
Great tips! Thank you!
You’re welcome 🦩
I used to make ponpoms with the kids in school and then turn them into animals, I have a book that shows how to combine them. You can also make little ghosts with white yarn and googly eyes.
That sounds like fun. It would be a great craft for kids.
Genuinely helpful and not needlessly complex... THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! My pom-poms turned out the best they've ever looked!
Awesome. I’m so glad It helped.
Excellent!! Thanks for the tips Robin :) making pom poms drives me crazy, but I definitely want to give this method a try.
I always double knot mine (didn't know it was called a surgeon's knot) but thanks for the tip of turning the pom pom and re-knotting it again - what a great tip - THANKS :)
Lesley Gilbert I didn’t know either until I started working at a hospital. My Grandfather taught me the knot when I was younger. He was a Navy man and taught me lots of knots that I no longer remember. Thanks for hanging out with me in my craft room!
I know I'm late to this, but THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I've been looking for the perfect way to make a Pom Pom, and this was the easiest and most affordable one I've seen! Thank you sooooo much, I made a HUGE Pom Pom with the book idea, and it worked like a charm! Again, thank you!
I’m so glad It worked well for you!! Huge pompoms are fun but they can be hard to make.
FINALLY a method that doesn't use glue or zip ties and actually works, thank you so much!!!
🦩. You’re welcome.
🙌🏾 game changer! Watching you trim stressed me out! 😰 but it loooked amazing.
It stresses me out too. 😉
I have set of those plastic pom pom makers that area supposed to make it easier to make pom poms, but mine are still falling apart. I'm going to try your technique for tying them. I never thought to tie them it both directions.
Odin Wolf's Little Red I’ve tried those plastic Pom Pom makers but I have never had much luck with them. They tend to frustrate me lol.
I just made a hat with two pompoms and now I'm half tempted to take them off and make some new ones like this because they'd probably hold up better, haha 😅
I'm almost out of the yarn I used though so maybe I'll wait until they do fall apart before I replace them....still though, great to know about this technique for when I need it in the future, thanks for that. 😊
I dont know why I never thought of trying them on both sides/in both directions, it makes so much sense!
Maybe wait and see what happens. You could always make a me pom pom if needed later. Even if you only have a little of the original yarn left you could add in a complimentary or contrast color and have a two color pom pom.
I also stopped making pom poms for the hats I made because they always fell apart too easily, no matter how tightly I tied them. But this cross-cross knotting makes so much sense! Thank you for the great tutorial!
Monica Wilga These seem to hold together pretty well. We don’t wear hats with pompous here in Florida but I haven’t had any complaints yet.
Thanks so much for the easy video on these I've seen.
You’re welcome 🦩
Trying to find something around here about the width I need to wrap. My hat for my daughter is tight on my head so I hope it fits her. I did the basic chain count for adult.
@@cathyprusinski2420 If you don’t have anything the size you need you can use something a bit larger and trim the pom or cut a couple of pieces of cardboard the size you need.
@@rsislandcrafts I actually used a small paper tablet and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately my hat after following generic instructions for chain length does not fit. To tight.
@@cathyprusinski2420 I’m glad you found something that worked. I’m guessing you crocheted your hat? It sounds like your initial chain was too tight. You could use a larger hook for your chain and then switch to the proper size hook for the rest of the hat. You could also try chaining a bit looser but if you go too loose then you’ll have a weird looking edge on your hat. Or just add more chains for a larger hat.
If you used wool to crochet your hat then you might be able to make It a bit larger by blocking It. Otherwise you can find someone with a smaller head to give It to or donate It. Too tight hats make fun hats for teddy bears.
Very nice. Thank you.

Nice. You make it look so easy.
Thank you! It's one of those projects that looks complicated on paper but once you start making it then it becomes easy.
You can stop them from rolling around by pulling from the center. They stay put & the yarn acts like a dispenser. You won't need a bowl. Nice tutorial!! :)
Very true. Some of my leftovers are already rolled in a ball so getting to the center would be near impossible. My newer scraps are wound with my yarn winder so those can be used as a center pull ball which is very nice. Thank you!
You're very welcome. I have ones that way too that I did before I got my winder. My son gave me mine because he knew I was struggling to ball mine. It's a great tool & I'm very thankful he got it for me. :)
My daughter bought mine.
When they fall apart is such a struggle but I'll try again
It's so frustrating when they fall apart. I don't make tons of pompoms but so far they've held up well.
Good even though I have Pom Pom maker I am not good lol
Love this. Thx.
🦩🦩🦩
Perfect!
WONDERFUL, THANKS!
Thank you!
Good day to you I am sewing this quilt right I never thought of the 9 patch so I was doing it the harder way so wondering Only got 2 rows done
Beverley Simmons I like how your sewing your quilt. I like scrappy 9 patches.
I have pomp9m makers they are great
Beverley Simmons I have some too but I’ve never really liked using them.
How many times?
You can wrap your pompom as many times as you’d like. The more wraps the fuller or thicker the pom.
what ply yarn do you use?
In this video I used #4 worsted weight yarn.
Thank you🤗
It keeps falling apart 😢
That can be very frustrating. Sometimes It can take a couple of tries to get the knots correct and tight.
That good
Thanks!
Zip tie.
You pull the.
Yarn out of the middle of the dark blue one
Just sent you an email enjoy your weekend
Beverley Simmons Got It and responded :)
I tie mine way tighter than this & they still fall apart. This was hardly pulled tight at all. This has to be the worst tutorial I have ever seen. 😏
You may not like my tutorial but my pom poms don’t fall apart 🤷♀️.
