Methods of making pompoms

Artisans have mastered several options for obtaining fluffy balls. Let's elaborate on some of them.

Using a part in the form of a torus

1. We make a blank. For this purpose, on a cardboard base with a compass, draw a circle corresponding to the size of the future pompon, and cut out the resulting circle. Inside it, cut out a small circle with a diameter of about 2 cm. You need to make two of these blanks.
2. Details add up and wind a thread of the desired color on them in a circle.
3. Use scissors to cut the yarn along the edge of the workpiece.
4. Pull the pieces apart a little and tie the cut thread between them.
5. Remove the cardboard parts.
6. Spread the threads of the resulting pompon and adjust the shape with scissors.

Using the blank-torah with a cutoff sector

1. Similar to the first method, the two cardboard bagels make a blank and cut off a sector of it.
2. Between the two parts put cut off yarn.
3. We wind the yarn on the workpiece and cut it along the edge.
4. Tie embedded yarn.
5. Billet and remove the pompon spread.

We use a rectangle as a blank.

This is the easiest way to use blanks.

1. From cardboard, cut out a rectangular piece, whose width is equal to the radius of the future pompon.
2. On top of it we place a thread.
3. Wind the yarn on the workpiece.
4. Tighten and tie up the longitudinal thread, and cut the yarn from the opposite side.
5. Remove the blank and give the pom-pom a spherical shape.

Hand brush when constructing balls of yarn

In this case, making blanks is not necessary.

1. Wind the yarn on 2,3 or 4 fingers of the hand, depending on the size of the pom-pom.
2. Remove the skein from the hand.
3. With one edge of the skein tie yarn, and with the other cut.
4. Spread the resulting pompon.

Using a fork to make pompons

A fork is very convenient to use for obtaining pompons of small size.

1. Wind the yarn on the tines of the fork.
2. In the middle tie up the yarn with a thread and cut it.
3. Spread the pom-pom.
