All you need to make them is yarn, scissors and some form of Pom Pom maker. You might want extra bits, such as wiggly eyes, pipe cleaners and felt, to turn them into creatures
As a child, Pom Poms were made using 2 circles of cardboard. Of course, you can still make them this way but I thoroughly recommend the new Pom Pom makers that split in the middle and make Pom Pom making so much easier. They also come in lots of different sizes to. You can buy these from most yarn and craft shops as well as online.
Pom Pom Animals
Pom Poms are great for creating animals. From bunnies to sheep, cats to octopuses, just add some wiggly eyes, bits of felt and pipe cleaners and you've got yourselves a menagerie of creatures!
Pom Pom Monsters
If animals aren't your thing, why not create some monsters? Let your imagination run wild and create some truly scary monsters. Combine yarn colours, Pom Pom sizes, add lots of eyes in different sizes, create multiple arms with pipe cleaners. Before you know it, monsters will be taking over your home.
Pom Pom Garland
These are just perfect for decorating your room or even the garden.
Make lots if Pom Poms in different colours. When you tie the middle, leave a long tail to attach them to one long piece of yarn. String them up everywhere and enjoy.
Pom Pom Flowers
Another great decoration for any room.
You'll need lots of Pom Poms, sticks (the ones you use in the garden are great or, if you want a more natural look, why not go out and collect some?) and some glue. Just blue your Poms Poms to the top of the sticks, leave to dry and then display in a beautiful vase.
Pom Pom Book Marks
You can never gave too many bookmarks and these mark your pages perfectly.
You'll need Pom Poms, lollipop sticks (you can buy these from craft stores and the children's craft section in the supermarket) and glue. Just glue your Pom Poms to the top of the lollipop stick, leave to dry and then enjoy. You could turn your Pom Poms into animals or monsters!
