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?

    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!

    MDF مخفف کلمه ی Medium Density Fiberboard به معنای تخته چوب با تراکم یا چگالی متوسط است که بسیار شبیه به تخته خرده چوب (نئوپان) میباشد اما بسیار قویتر از آن است و امروزه کاربرد های فراوانی در صنایع مختلف از جمله کابینت سازی دارد.خیلی از افراد به دلیل کاربرد های مشابه در بعضی موارد، از ام دی اف به جای پلای وود یا تخته چندلایی استفاده میکنند، ام دی اف که کار درستی نیست زیرا از لحاظ ساختار و ویژگی بسیار با یکدیگر متفاوت هستند و تنها در برخی موارد، کاربرد یکسان دارند.
