Whether you are a complete crafting beginner or looking for a fun weekend activity to do with your kids, turning soft yarn skeins into a fluffy, wearable statement piece is incredibly satisfying.
Grab your favorite shades of yarn and a pom-pom maker, and let’s get rolling on this super simple, incredibly plush winter essential!
How to make a DIY pom pom scarf
Materials you will need:
- 3 yarn skein
- a pompom maker (diameter 7 cm)
- A pair of scissors. (Sharpe and tiny, like this one)
I made 18 pom poms, 6 in each shade of pink. The thicker you wrap the yarn around the pom-pom maker the fluffier will be your pom pom.
Once you are done wrapping the yarn around, close the pom pom maker. Start cutting the yarn, by pushing your scissors between the two plastic discs.
It can be a little hard to cut, so you will need a sharp pair of scissors. Make sure the small yarn piece doesn’t fall out the pom pom maker.
Wrap a long piece of yarn between the two plastic discs and around the pompom. Tie off as tightly as possible. You can make a few extra loops and knots to make it extra secure.
If needed you can trim the pom pom a little. Just be careful to not cut the long piece of yarn, you will use it to put the scarf together.
Pull your pom pom out and done! Repeat to make as many pompoms as you want for your scarf.
Once all the pom poms are made, arrange them to create a nice color scheme.
Align the pompoms and attach one to each other at the time to create the scarf. Just make a double (or triple) knot with the long yarn to attach all pom poms together.
Once the scarf is made, you can cut the extra yarn length.
And done, enjoy your fluffy pompoms scarf! The scarf is so warm and cozy, my daughter loves it! We took a few pictures in her bedroom, the polka dots wall was just perfect!
It’s a very fun a simple craft to make with yarn, you can also get your kids involved if they want to give you a hand to make their own pom poms scarf. If you master the art of knitting, you can also try to make this pretty striped scarf.
