i have the clover pom pom maker....yes the yarn can get caught on the feet, but there are things you can do, like lifting your arms up higher to miss the feet when you wrap.....but the pom poms they produce are well worth it....you can make them as light or dense as you want....to make it denser, just wrap a second layer.....go one way on both halves, then make a 2nd pass coming back, just remember, a 2nd layer will make it a little tougher to cut....so make sure your scissors are well cared for, sharp and adjusted.....remember your mom's sewing scissors that we were NOT allowed to touch as kids.....well now they are your scissors that no one else in the house is allowed to touch
Can you do a video on how to keep a pom pom together for a hat. I made a 6 inch pom pom for my ribbed beanie, tied it together as tight as I could with elastic string, and cotton yarn I mean I really had thing tied tight and it STILL came apart after my daughter wore the hat for a week. Thank you Alyssa, I really like your videos.
I k ow this was meant as a review but it worked great as a tutorial too! I own #1&2 and have never taken them out of their packaging lol I’ve just always used a piece of cardboard to make mine because it was quicker for me since I didn’t know how to actually use those.(I hate reading directions 😂) I’m happy to know I have the 2 best and now I know how to actually use them! Thanks❤️
Basically, the clover tassel maker made pom poms the way I learned how (over a piece of cardboard) except the center is hallow. Basically, I cut cardboard the size I want it (about 4" because I still need to trim) and then wrap the same way you did the tassel makers. I tie the yarn the same way you did, except like I said the center is a solid piece of cardbaord. Then cut the 2 sides and trim to size. It only makes 1 pompom instead of 2, but I can make any size cardboard I want as a template and its free because I am recycling old cardboard packaging. I know there is a way to do it from a circle piece of cardboard or from a fork, because I have heard of both on youtube but I never tried those. I like wrapping over the square cardboard 🤷🏼♀️
I hovered over the thumbnail for a preview of your video. When the insert of the "scientists" popping the sphere came up and made me laugh, I decided to view the video, which I enjoyed even though I don't craft with pompoms.
Hi Alisha, I have the Clover pom pom makers. I like them but, I haven't been able to tie them tight enough so that the yarn pieces don't come out when tugged. As for storage, I use a clear over the door shoe organizer for stuff like this. I do many different crafts and the clear shoe pockets are great for everything from paint brushes to jars of rubber cement/modpodge. I think sandwich size ziplock bags work well for keeping all the small pieces of a tool together and easily removable. Thanks for your fun and informative video. 🧶💜🤟
I make my pom poms by hand. I use kind of a combination of 2 and 3. I cut out two donut shapes with a wedge missing and two circles the size I want the pompom to be. I wrap the yarn around the donut shape like on #2 and when it's thick enough I tie it. Then I cut all the loops and trim it with the circles like #3.
On tiring the knots when u rap the end twice then titan the yarn an tie the second knot. I don’t know what it’s called doing it that way but it helps making a tight knot
I don’t like pompoms but if i did start making them I definitely would buy one of the top two, they look like a great investment that won’t break the bank! Thanks so much for the review!
Thank you so very much for the review! I've never invested in one because I had never seen them "in action"... I'm ready to buy one now. Personally, I liked the results from the #2 slot, the Clover pom maker. It's going on my "Grama Wants" list. 😁
Love! Love! Love! Your reviews! This was soo informative! I bought the Red Heart maker. When I opened the package… SMH! I couldn’t even try so I threw somewhere. 😁 Now thanks to your review, I know it’s “ supposed” to work. 😮 I recently purchased the Clover pompom maker. Wonderful! Now I’ll try the Clover Tassel Maker. You are the best!!!
#1 pom pom maker is good. #2 is a waste of yarn. #3 maybe. #4 nope. I also use the circles that come 3 in a package and of course pom poms from Amazon.
🙋🏼♀️I have a question… do you think you would be able to use that long pompom maker with ribbon to make some cheerleader type poms? Looking for an activity to do with my 3 year old granddaughter and she looooves pompoms. Thought this just might work. 🩷

I have #2 and it makes a great pom.
Thank you for the review. It took me years to pick one and your video confirms that my choice was a good one. ♥️

fun and informative video, thanks Alicia. I enjoy watching your videos. You do so much more than crocheting, you're never boring.

"business up top - party at the back" 😂😂
Mullet Party!!!!!
I laughed out loud at that too!
Great review! I love using my Clover "OG" 🙂 I feel very zen when I use it. And the poms are plumper than with other devices.

I always get the yarn stuck on my hands, lol.
Great review of Pom Pom makers! I have always done them by hand! You do the best reviews!🥰. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this review! I was shopping around for exactly these! Clover for the win!!
I love the chair in the beginning
On tiring the knots when u rap the end twice then titan the yarn an tie the second knot. I don’t know what it’s called doing it that way but it helps making a tight knot
Kathy thank you!!! I have to try that
Thanks for the review! The red heart one did not come with instructions. I tried it and had the same result, 2 pompoms and two God knows what!
Just ordered some pom pom makers from Amazon and I love them. They are like the clovers.
Which ones did you order from Amazon if I may ask?
I don’t like pompoms but if i did start making them I definitely would buy one of the top two, they look like a great investment that won’t break the bank! Thanks so much for the review!
I love my Clover Pom Pom Makers.
Great review and yes, Clover for the money.
😂 I am crying over here watching you work your big girl scissors!!!
Which one stayed together the best ? Thanks Marianne

I recently purchased the Clover pompom maker. Wonderful! Now I’ll try the Clover Tassel Maker. You are the best!!!
Id you are worried about lining them up you can push the yarn down closer to the bottom.
Ok gal very awesome presentation ❣️😀
Thanks fir the review! i've been thinking about buying a pom pom maker but wasn't sure about what to expect. Now I know! You rock!! ❤
Glad I could help!
Instead of using yarn to tie your Pom poms, try zip ties. I use pliers to get them extra extra tight.
Awesome update my friend
Thank you
Thanks for your review!!
My pleasure!
Hint for everyone use hand embroidery thread to use tight to to then use same color yarn😁🤗
You’re so good 👍🏻
We want to see you pull the yarns it will fall apart?
At least you had fun 🤣🤣🤣🎉🎉🎉
#1 pom pom maker is good. #2 is a waste of yarn. #3 maybe. #4 nope.
I also use the circles that come 3 in a package and of course pom poms from Amazon.
This is great!!
thank you. You're name is great!
I'm heavy handed. Need tight and/or durable ones.
Yo!t his is unreal ~
The mullet had me 😅😂🤣
lol, I tried to make it work
@@LittlejohnsYarn I absolutely love your patterns. The Mobius twist Cloche hat is a fave and gets great reviews
I use clovers one
Try NIRVANA POM POMS THEY ARE GREAT ❣️❣️❣️❣️ ALTHOUGH I STILL LOVE CLOVER
It’s like a mullet…
(Dies)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I might craft, but I'm definitely not the craftiest, lol
I has super speed. I don’t find it tedious with Pom pom maker.
