Instructions

    Wind your wool around your fingers - the more fingers you wrap it around, the bigger your pom pom will be. Keep going until you get about this thick. If you want a fuller or sparser pom pom, ad or reduce the layers.

    Take the woolly tube off of your fingers and cut a new piece of wool about 8 inches long.

    Tie it tightly in a double knot. Wind it round and do the same on the other side.

    Cut around the edge like this- make sure you cut all of the loops.

    You should end up with something like this. You can trim any rough edges to make it neater.
