Step 1 Begin with the 2 pom-pom rings facing together with
their ‘flat’ side out. start wrapping your yarn around both of the
rings together, and keep wrapping all the way around.

Step 2 Keep wrapping the yarn until it’s as thick as you want it
to be. The more you wrap, the more solid your pom-pom will
be. I recommend wrapping it at least twice around all the way,

Step 3 Once you’ve wrapped the yarn as much as you want to,
hold the rings – which now resemble a “yarn doughnut!” – firmly in the center, and start cutting all around the outside edge of
the rings.

The first time I tried
this, I worried the
yarn would simply fall
out of the center of
the ring and that it
wouldn’t work at all.
I was wrong! As long
as you’ve created
enough yarn wraps,
the yarn will simply
rest nestled up all the
strands together in
the center.

Step 4 Slowly pull the two rings apart, to expose the center of
the little yarn bundle – but be careful not to completely remove them. This will look a bit like two jellyfish stuck together.
Step 5 With the center of the yarn bundle exposed, tie 1 or 2
longer strands of yarn around the whole works, and tie a knot
firmly. Now it’s safe to remove the rings!
Step 6 Once you’ve removed the rings, all that’s left to do is
snip away any uneven ends and then give it a “floof” with your
fingers, and you’re don HH]8
