How to Make a Yarn Pom-Pom without it Falling Apart

November 30, 2015

YarnPom1

You know the struggle! You make a yarn pom-pom and no matter how tightly you tie the center, it falls apart or easily pulls apart with a little tug on the strings. So frustrating! Especially when you are making pom-poms to embellish hats for gifts or to sell, you don’t want your product coming undone. Hot glue to the rescue! This might be an unconventional method, but it works for me and keeps my pom strings intact.

YarnPom2

To create a small pom-pom, I wrap the yarn around 3 fingers (4 fingers for a larger pom) and as I wrap, I put a strip of hot glue along the center. Obviously you want to be careful not to get the hot glue on your fingers!

Watch the video below to see how it’s done:

    How does the glue hold up to having the pom pom washed?

      You can buy fabric glue at any fabric store if you don’t trust the glue.

    Pretty awesome! To bad she clipped off so much yarn though what a waste. I would have used 2 fingers for that size pom and cut of would have been waste. I hate waste.

    Would this method work for pom pom makers? I am so not good with hand made pom poms. I bought the clover pom pom maker and it does make great pom poms but I still have the same problem that everyone else does….the strands pull out no matter how tight you tie them!

    به خاطر داشته باشید تعمیر آل این وان ایسر در مراکز غیرمجاز و به دست افراد مبتدی، نه تنها مشکل دستگاه شما را برطرف نخواهد کرد بلکه موجب وارد کردن صدمات جدی به بخش‌های دیگر دستگاه خواهد گردید که در برخی موارد با از کار انداختن کلی دستگاه امکان بازیابی و اصلاح آن را برای همیشه از بین می‌برد.
