HOW TO MAKE A POM POM:

 

1.  Wind yarn around your fingers.

     The more you wind the yarn, the fatter the

      pom-pom. (For a smaller pom pom, wind

      around 2 or 3 fingers. For a larger pompom,

      wind around a 4 or 5 inch piece of cardboard.)

2.  Slide the bundle off, and tie tightly in the

     center with a length of yarn.

3.  Cut open the loops on the ends.

4.  Fluff out, and trim the ends into a rounded

     shape.
