I am brand new to this crafting at 67 years old. I've just crocheted my first baby hat and I wanted a pom pom for it. You are such a delight and so clear in your tutorial. Thank you so much for your help!

My favorite pom pom video so far. I learned to do this method many many many years ago from my mom but I forgot and she passed away so not only did you teach me to make a great pompom, you also gave me back the memories of doing this with my mom, whom I miss terribly. Thank you so much! What a blessing. 💜

Such fun. Easy to follow instructions And my first ever perfect Pom Pom at 78 years of living!! Never to old to learn. Thank you.

Old school pom pom making, I remember making these at school, nice to know that you don't always have to spend a fortune buying tools to make simple things. Thank you x

You did good. You explained well and I love your upbeat voice. I am 64 yers old and first time making pompoms. I’m so happy I learned from you. God bless you. Thank you.

This was the easiest Pom Pom method. Thanks

3 years later, and your video is still teaching many people! Thank you for sharing!

New subscriber here. What a unique way to make a pom, I am 71 and have made literally thousands of them and this looks like the quickest way I've ever seen. I have never used a pom maker made of plastic....they just seemed too slow. This is wonderful...thank you from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my amazing. Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty knitty life in southern California.🙏🙏👍👍🎄🎄🐦🎅🌲🌲🏡🏡😄😃

I used to make hundreds and hundreds of pom-poms for my grandma when I was about 10-16 years old. She used them for a number of things that she would make. My grandma has passed now, but I will never forget the easy way to make pom-pons. My grandpa would take a block of wood (extra pieces of 2x4's that he had leftover from other projects), maybe about 8-10" or so, sanded any tough edges, then took 2 nails and pounded them into the wood until about 3/4 of the way through. He used the nails that don't have a flat head on them (I'm sorry, I don't know what they're called). Anyways, he would space the 2 nails at different intervals apart, depending on the size of pom pom you want. Then, you start at the top, hold onto about 1.5" of yarn in your left hand, and start wrapping the yarn around the nails to the desired shape you want. You could wrap them in a figure 8 instead of just round and round, as well. Then, you cut off the same length of yarn that you started with (1.5"), wrap it around your pom pom in the middle and tie the 2 pieces together in a knot, nice and tight. Then, you just pop off the pom-pom from the nails and cut the edges/loops apart (that's why you don't use nails with the flat top on them). I know that sounds like a lot, but once you have the pieces of wood with the nails in them, you can whip off tons of pom-poms in any color and size that you want. The cardboard and toilet paper rolls work great, too - in case you can't make the pieces of wood. I just found it to have more steps than the wood chunks, and you didn't have to worry about the cardboard and tp rolls wearing out or bending. I hope this helps someone. Either way, pom-poms are so freaking adorable and you can use them in hundreds of ways. Thank you so much for the tutorial. 🙂💜

Wonderful Pom Pom tutorial! Thank you!!

This has to be one of the easiest, most well explained tutorials I've ever seen for a pom pom. As someone who hasn't made them in 30 years, and needs to make a couple for a beanie, this is ABSOLUTELY the way I'm going to make them, and all future pom pom from now on! Thank you!

50 years of crafting and I’ve never heard the two cardboard disc hint! Love it.

I have been making crochet hats for years. Never could make a good pompom! Thank you for showing me how to do it!

I am loving it! Perfect pom pom for my beanie, thanks, hun! Now let me share with you why you may have dull scissors. I sew as well as crochet. We seamstresses have a strict rule about our fabric cutting scissors; we never use them on paper or cardboard because paper will dull the edges. We keep an extra pair of scissors just for paper, but guard our fabric ones with our lives, lol! And too if you want to sharpen yours, there are inexpensive sharpeners [$10-20] that can be purchased at a Joanns Fabric/craft store or ? in your area. Hope this helps.

The toilet paper rolls is the best method that I've seen. I'll try it next time. Those scissors were killing me though! 😄 I hope you have new ones now. ❤

I absolutely love this tutorial. I needed a refresher to make a pom pom for my granddaughter's Christmas hat that I'm crocheting and figured I would need to buy one of those tools from a craft. How lucky for me to find your video! None of the pom-poms I have made by hand in the past looked like these. Using the two toilet paper rolls was new to me as was trimming around the circle templates. Absolutely genius. I subscribed immediately to see more fun craft ideas.

Just a suggestion, instead of throwing the ends away that you trimmed off, save them and use them for stuffing things like amigurmi or pillows, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to share your tutorial. I just tried it and it turned out great. Those that have to make negative or rude comments should just not say anything at all if you can't be positive. Thank you

I'm a beginner knitter and I just made a tea cozy that needed a pom pom topper. The first pom pom I made looked dreadful. Then I found your tutorial and now I have a perfect, multicolored pom pom! Your instructions were clear and they made the process easy and fun. Thank you so much!

The best pom pom tutorial ever! I always wondered why my pom poms did not turn out even. Thanks so much.

Fold a sheet of aluminum foil into a small sheet, then cut it with the scissors .( Cut 10 - 15 fine strips ) Your scissors is sharp again. ✂️ 😀

I watched several videos on how to make pom-poms. This is my very first one to make. Your video is by far the best! Thank you!

This is the easiest, best way to make a pom pom! Thank you for your video!

This is the first video I've found that actually gives an estimate of how much yarn to use to make the pom pom. Thank you!

Easiest way I have found to make a pompom. Love the info on how much yarn to use and tying knots was good info.

I never thought I'd need to 'learn' to make pompoms. But you've showed the best way to do it. I learnt something today, thank you, 🙂

The best video I have seen on pom poms. Thankyou

The easiest pom pom tutorial by far. Thank you

Oh girl! I just made 120 smaller pom poms but I used 2 fingers to wrap around and it worked! But this idea 💡 for a rug I want to make is PERFECT!!! I’m so glad I found your video!!!! I can’t wait to start mine...thank you sooo much...

The trimming part was so helpful...I made a hat and then it showed me how to make a pompom but the trimming was free form and Im not good at that so the card board template made all the difference....thank you

After 5 years of crocheting And watching crochet KZfaqrs. Second time watching this. Your still awesome. You're personality and how you speak in a good way reminds me of my favorite crocheter Fiberspider. Hes awesome

This was the best pompom tutorial! Appreciate the good technique, good narration, and chipper personality

This is AWESOME!!! I've been crotcheting for years and years and this is the most awesome easiest way to make pom poms!! Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️

It is a good video and I loved the way you explained everything. My kids are exited to make these pompoms and they have made such beautiful ones watching your as it was my birthday today thank you for what you have done for us

I have been making Pom Poms for years and have used all types of ways and store bought Pom makers and this is the absolute easiest and best way I have come across thank you!

Good evening young lady thank you for showing me a refreshing my my memory on how to make a pom pom I'm almost finished with my hat but I'm almost out of thread cuz I only got one bundle I should have got a few my daughter is not coming into Halloween I hope they still have the same pattern color that I chose thanks again for sharing how to make easy pom poms God bless you. 👍🏾✨

Wow! That was so easy! I’m going to teach my nieces how to do this today, thanks for the video xxx

OMG! I love you! It's so hard for me to make them look all round and even, but that "sandwich pompom" idea is BRILLIANT!!! And the doble knot!! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!

So glad I found your channel. I'm making Santa Hat chair covers and need large pompoms for the top. Thank you for explaining it so clearly.

Loved, loved, loved your tutorial! Super thanks!

The easiest and best way to make the exact size pompom I need! I bought a pompom maker back a while and I just did not like it. This works sooo much better, thank you! 💜

This is the best way I have seen pom poms made. You do a very good job.

My granddaughter is playing soccer and I wanted to get pom-poms for her shoes. Well the ones I could find online aren't cute. These are adorable. I'll definitely be making hers

I started crocheting just 2 or 3 months before everything shut down. I had just enough time to learn the basics and build a decent yarn and hook stock but hadn't gotten to anything extra or fancy yet, I hadn't even heard of a pom pom or tassle maker. I used this video and a paper towel roll cut in half for my first attempt and got it done beautifully the first try. I deeply appreciated this video, thank you

So far this has been the best tutorial I’ve seen!

And I never thought I could learn great and beautiful things cuz never before knew how to knit or do crochet, but love it ! Even my son learned how to make pom pom, and first time loved it thanks!!!!

Best pompon tutorial that I’ve seen!

You are freakin' smart! I have pom pom makers (2 different kinds) and your method using the toilet paper rolls is genius. Its easier and faster and for me, it's fool proof. And the cardboard sandwich ... makes me feel stupid that something so easy and simple has escaped me for so long. Thanks for taking the time to share your ideas and tutorial.

Absolutely AWESOME!! In addition to the toilet paper rolls being pure GENIUS, I especially love 2 other things: the cardboard templates for even trimming... and most of all, the double wrapping to keep the yarn TIGHTLY in place while making the double knot. BRILLIANT!!!! I just recently started working with yarn, to make various kinds of cat toys, and the knotting has been my biggest problem with the pompoms. I need them to be completely safe for our "babies" to play with so they don't pull the yarn pieces out while kicking and tugging at the pompoms. You just made my life a lot easier!!! LOL. Our 9 kitties and I THANK YOU so very very much!!!

EXCELLENT video!!! So thorough and precisely stated. I enjoyed it immensely and made a pom pom right along with you and I'm thrilled!! My best pom pom yet!!! AND, I've been making them for years. I think I have tried every method out there and yours is the best!! THANK YOU!

This is by far the best instructions for making pom poms I have found. They have come out so much nicer than any other. Love 💕 you're instructions and use of every day items. Thank you!

Excellent tutorial and very clever use of cardboard and toilet paper rolls. Thank you fir sharing. 👍☺️

Thank you for the pom pom tutorial... Very informative! I wanted to make the best pom poms I could for the Poncho that I just crocheted for my Grand Daughter. Thanks so much!!! 💜

Great tutorial! Thanks 😊 I will get some plastic pipes with different diameters at the hardware store, cut them so I have two pieces of 5-6 inches in length, then get rubber bands to hold the matching pipes together at the ends (after I put the starting string between them) Voila, I can make Pom poms in any size I desire 😁

By far the BEST BEST BEST method of making yarn pom poms. Thank you for posting this!

I love love love this video. My Pom Pom for my hat turned out perfect!👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I just finished crocheting a hat and this video was very helpful on making a pom pom with things you have around your house. I used kitchen paper towel roll cut in have instead of toilet paper rolls cuz I didn't have any at the moment. Thank you for sharing and explaining it so thoroughly. 😍👍👍♥️🌷⚘

This is something new, I’ve never seen the second disks used for trimming before. I wanted to make a bathroom mat, this video makes it seem more possible.

Thank you. This was my first successful attempt at making a Pom Pom. It all relies on the trimming. I never understood that before. Clear instructions and a great guide.

This is the MOST informative pom pom tutorial! Ty!

I want you to know that I tried several ways to make pom poms and your way was BY FAR the best

Am sure they showed me something like this at school in the seventies, however I had forgotten how and all my pom poms were floppy nowadays. Thanks for this it is really good.

Oh my goodness I have done one around my fingers, I have seen the TP roll done!!! To funny I had made one just didn't look right lol! So I found your clip! Love it! I don't have a pompom maker. So I searched... glad I found you. Great ideas!!! It has been a very long time to pick up needles, a hook. Thank you very much for the memory flash back!

Ingenious use of the toilet paper rolls! What a great idea. I have a pompom maker, but your method makes them look so much fuller! Thanks!

I love the tutorial on making a perfect pom pom. Very easy methods to follow. ❤

Thank you for making this video! I was struggling with the other tutorials. I’m happy Pom Pom making over here 🧶 God bless you!

Thank you for sharing these easiest steps ever.

Best easiest way to make pom poms!!! THANK YOU!

Thank you very much for this brilliant tutorial.... you've just taught an old girl a great new trick. I love it. And I love the tip for bird's nest lining with leftovers. 💓

You can sharpen your scissors by "cutting" the mouth of a glass jar. It doesn't cut the jar but it sharpens your scissors. I sharpen all my scissors that way.

I think sharp scissors is an understatement, but great job on the pom. No need for fancy equipment to make those💜

Great video, ive made many pom poms with the guidance of this videp. Clear instructions, clear video, easy to follow along

This was a perfect project for me and my 9 year old son! You made it so easy and they look so good. He loved it! Thanks!

I tried it and they look very pretty. Hassel free and saved time. Thank you. Joan

I have learn to crochet since the lock down made 5 blankets granny squares. My grand daughter has one, my grandson has one. So then I had a ago at golf club covers, success, but did not no how to do pom poms til now, watching your video. Thank you so much. Never knitted or crochet in my life. So learn 2 things. Happy bunny.

A tip I have if your Pom poms aren’t fluffy yet, I will get them wet, and then to dry them I’ll shake them hard agents like a towel, it helps separates the yarn strings and makes them more fluffy.

I have tried several methods to make pom-poms yours is really clear and produced a lovely result thank you.👍

This was a brilliant tutorial, very clearly demonstrated. In no way was it too long or wordy, according to some negative people here. Thankyou for posting.

This is the best video on how to make a pom pom any size you want with all the extra bits of knowledge you'll EVER need you are a great teacher God bless you

Nice reminder love keep teaching us old ladies thanx

Best technique I’ve seen. Thanks for a very informative lesson. I’m making some Staci Perry hats and the pompons are great finishers. I also have a disgraceful amount of stashed yarn and I think a Pom rug might be in the making.

BEST POMPOM TUTORIAL EVER!!! So much easier than the way I was struggling with. Thank you!

Enjoyed watching I’m going to make one for my crochet hat

I’m so chuffed with this video, so easy. I tried those plastic gadgets & no matter what I did, they didn’t look good. So thank you 😊

Great video. The second disc for cutting is a great idea. Thanks for making this much easier than usual with your good suggestions.

Brilliant. Much easier than the 4-H method from the 1960s. Thank you for making this video. Oh, and I too save all yarn scraps to use as stuffing.

I love you pom pom video. You changed my life forever making pom poms. So much easier this way, thank you for a great video.

I used this tutorial to make two pom poms for child's hats and my pom poms turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.

Before I made a pom pom i was like, "i can make a pom pom in 30 seconds!" 😂me now.... has unfinished beanies laying around because I refuse to take the time to make pom poms. 😅

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I couldn't understand why my pom-poms were coming out terrible and you have explained everything to me perfectly. I love how up beat you are too! I'm definitely subscribing to your channel, you're amazing!

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! My granddaughter and I tried a couple of times, but THIS actually worked for us!!

Thank you so very much. I have struggled for years trying to make a perfect Pom Pom

i made my first pompom today using this video. it came out adorable! gracias.

I think you did a wonderful job in explaining how to make a pom pom. Yes it seems like it takes a lot of yarn but I'm pretty darn sure it's worth it. Plus I would keep the stuffing and use it for either pillow or making some sort of bear crocheting. As for scissors 36 years ago I bought these scissors that has a scissor sharpener, you put it in and out of the case as you do it you sharpen the scissors so yes my scissors are sharp at all times. I'm pretty sure they don't make them anymore or if they do they're very expensive because my was only ten bucks. Thank you once again for your tutorial, have a wonderful day sweetie.

I love how you teach. So easy to follow. And you have such a calm voice. I have learned more than I thought I could. Thanks

This is the best video ever seen on making pompoms!!!!

Hi, I just found you & subscribed. That's the best homemade pom pom I've seen in a long time. I'm looking forward to learning from you & making lots of things that you teach on your videos. I had never heard of a pom pom rug, no we I want to make one. You don't seem nervous, but I am very nervous. If I can get really concentrated, sometimes I can distract myself out of laying my work down in frustration and sometimes my shaking will become less & I can make progress on my work. May God bless you & yours very abundantly. Take care & stay well. An old lady in Florida. Lol.

This is, by far, the best method I have ever seen. ☺️ Thank you so much 🌹

Thank you for this video🧶. It’s a time saver! I just made two pompoms and took me forever to form the shape! I just used the paper rolls, but not the circles. Next time I’ll be prepare. GREAT IDEA Thank you for you time. 🙏🏻

Look forward to making Pom poms with my grandkids!
