As promised, here are the steps to make simple pom pom out of pom pom maker. Easy, just takes a couple of minutes to do it
Things you need :
1) Pom pom maker (I am using the largest one 9cm diameter)
2) Sharp small scissor
3) Yarn of your choice
Step 1a :
Arrange the pom pom maker like in the picture. Next put the one in the front on top of the one in the back. See the next image of how to assemble the first step.
Step 1b :
First step assembly.. notice how they stack on top of each other.
Step 1c :
Prepare for winding
Step 2a :
Wind the yarn around one part of the pom pom from left to right and right to left till its fullest. The thicker your winding will results in a fluffier pom pom.
Step 2b :
Picture shows how after several round of winding turns out to be. You can make it thicker than this. Depends on you.
Step 2c :
After satisfied with the thickness, cut the yarn. We are going to do the next part of the pom pom maker.
Step 3 :
Wind the next part of the pom pom maker. Note, you can use a different yarn color if you like for two tone color. Your choice :)
Step 4a :
After cutting the yarn like step 2c, close the pom pom maker like in the picture. Note, there are two lock/notch (white color) in the front and back to close and hold the pom pom maker together.
Step 4b :
Close the lock from both sides into the pom pom maker to hold both parts together.
Step 5a :
After securing the lock on both sides, using a sharp scissors, cut through all the yarns along the middle line.
Step 5b :
Picture shown cutting through all the yarns along the line.
Step 6a :
To secure the pom pom.
Take about 10" length of the yarn and cut it. Insert the yarn as shown through the middle part of both parts of the pom pom maker.
Step 6b :
Tie several knots tightly to secure the pom pom.
Step 7 :
Open the lock and take out the pom pom as picture on both sides.
Step 8:
Cut the extra length of yarn for a cleaner and make it into a round and tidier look.
The finished pom pom !!..
You can make several of these. I am addicted to making this pom pom and have made several for my children to play with.
Ideas:
You can stack one small pom pom and one big pom pom with a glue gun and glue the eyes and nose for a quick toys for your children to play.
I will put a guide in making pom pom using the Pom Pom Maker that we have in our store. My children love it so much with the pom pom that I made them. It is easy and fast to make. And, I think that pom pom dolls suits well with anyone who loves to make a quick gifts to anyone, especially children.
Why I made a guide, it is because, the written instructions in in Chinese, that is why, it will be so much help to those who bought it.
Stay tuned!
Really apologizes for not updating this blog for so long. But, along the way, I have lots of stories to tell you all about what I did for the past few months. Crocheting and sewing stuffs. Hehe..wait for another entry.
My husband’s friend wanted to order something for his nieces. So he was asking me to do something for the girls. Which takes some time figuring out what to make. Something easy and nice and practical for all of them. I do not want to make something that is not suitable and practical for the girls. And walla, totes idea came to my mind after browsing for free patterns on the Lion brand website. They can use the totes to put pocket money (duit raya) inside it. I know, my 3 year old Tasneem would love to have something like this, so bright and can put her personal belongings inside the small cute tote. But, I did not make her one. I will though. One day!
For the tote, it is Urban Girl Tote, free pattern taken from Lion Brand Yarn website. This is very easy pattern and finish up fast. The only thing I adjust was make the handles longer. I am using Nona double stranded yarn and 5.5mm crochet hook for the tote. After that, I embellished with crocheted flower and also crocheted butterflies, and sew it to the totes.
The baby hat was for 6-12 months old. The mother did not want any ribbons or buttons attached to the hat. Just plain and simple will do.
When I looked at Crochet Today magazine project for this pillow, I am very amazed at the outcome. I really wanted to make one for home, the living room. Oh no, actually not make one, but need to make a pair of it. But wait, I have more things to knit and crochet along the way! Maybe next time, I will make another one of this pillow :p . Maybe with a different color.
The technique is crochet, I am using 5.5mm hook, with two strands of acrylic yarn. This pattern I would say it is simple to do. Once you know how to make dc (double crochet), trc (treble crochet), it is very easy. I love the looks like a 3D. Don’t you love this pattern too?
Anyway, if you are making this pattern too, please share it with me, I would love to see the outcome too!
