Instructions 

Craft Time: ~45 minutes

Make Pom-Poms

1. Prepare the yarn 

• Remove one bundle of yarn from the yarn holder.  

• Cut off two pieces of yarn (one 10-inch and one 8-inch) from the yarn bundle and set them aside. You'll use these pieces later to tie the pom-pom together and attach it to the wreath.

2.  Wrap the yarn

• Holding the Pom-Pom Maker closed, wrap the yarn around the pom-pom marker until you get to the end of the bundle. Be sure to spread the yarn out around the tool as you wrap it to keep the pom-pom symmetrical.

3. Tie the center

• Thread the 10-inch yarn piece you cut earlier through the center slot of the pom-pom maker. Wrap it around the yarn to the other side.

• Pull it tightly around the center of the wrapped yarn and tie a secure double knot.

4. Cut the loops

• Using scissors, cut along the groove on one side of the tool.

• Repeat on the opposite side until all the loops have been cut.

5. Remove the Pom-Pom

• Open the Pom-Pom Maker and remove the pom-pom.

• Fluff and trim the pom-pom as needed to create a nice round shape.

Attach Pom-Pom to the wreath

1. Take the 8-inch piece of yarn you previously cut and thread it under the center knot of the pom-pom.

• Thread both ends of the yarn through two holes in the wreath frame.

• Tie a secure knot on the back of the frame and trim any excess yarn.

2. Repeat

• Continue making and attaching pom-poms until the wreath is complete.

3.  Shape

• Fluff and trim off any excess yarn to make it symmetrical.
