A neat way to make a tiny pompon. My daughter showed me this method yesterday when we were making a bunny.

What a great way to make pom poms. I always have problems making tiny ones.. Thank you for the great directions.
You ladies are so talented. I have learned a lot from this web site!!!!

It's cool. So fast and easy..thanks both of you.

Thanks for sharing! Awesome idea.

thanks Sue, what a fabulous way of doing this, I will have to show my Grand daughters as they are on 2 weeks school holidays now...

Clever idea ,sure beats cutting out cardboard circles & you always know where to find a fork.

I used those sticky circles for repairing holes in your files.
I put two together to make one side, twice. Then used a tapestry needle to pull the embroidery floss through the hole. Made a very nice pompon and very tiny. Will have to remember to try out the forks method for small wool pompons.
(And yes my spelling is correct - checked the old pattern books)

I would never have thought to make one so very teeny tiny as to use the hole reinforcement stickers but if understanding you correctly you are taking two and overlapping them so between the two holes you have just the distance from the hole to the outside edge but doubled layered just between the two holes. Do you also use the reinforcement stickers on the back side to cover the adhesive? Going to need to try this out just because they are so very tiny.

Wow!!!

my grandchildren will love this idea. Many thanks for sharing

Thank you

I could see those pompoms as a windowdecoration put on a fishline as I did with the hearts

great stuff . Thanks Sue and Daughter,
Hugs pam

Thank you so very much for the great photos and all the instructions.

What a great tip!

thanks for the new to me tutorial, I see cleverness runs in the family. Thank you both

What a cool idea; new for me! Thanks!

Nice to see this reminder....this was one of the first things that my Mom taught me to make almost 60 years ago...great to see it come back to the forefront...

Thanks I will remember that one!

Thanks, will try this soon!!!

the answer to finger free knots is, when u bring the two end together just twist them around the oppisite thread a couple of times. then pull up tight and then tie your knot, no spipping, just a nice tight knot and all your fingers. hope that helps/

The perfect size.

Great tip! I had always used just a piece of cardboard to wrap yarn around to make pompoms... this is perfect for the tiny ones. Thanks Sue.

And... love the idea to use this method to make those tiny bows too (Thanks mops!)

Fantastic. I think your daughter is as clever as you are!!

what a cool idea thank you

What an neat idea, thanks for sharing.

Clever.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the idea much easier than cutting bits of cardboard.

Great way to do it and nice to remind everyone. I learned making them around two circles of cardboard with a hole in the middle. But prefer the fork-method, especially for kids. It's fast and foolproof.
A fork is ideal to make tiny bows as well.

I've done bows with a fork, but I've always used a ruler for pompoms (similar method to this, but they come out bigger because you only get one lot of loops to trim.) I could never get on with the cardboard circles!

Neat idea. Thank you! :-)
