Pom poms are so fun! They are perfect if you want to add a cheerful look to your knitting or crochet projects. You can use them to embellish hats, blankets, pillows, etc.

There are also many craft projects you can do with pom poms – make beautiful wall hangings, garlands, wreaths, jazz up your keychain or bag, make fluffy jewelry.

Making pom poms is really easy, and the process can be addictive.

Below I’m going to show you, how to make full gorgeous pom poms using the Clover Pom Pom maker. This little tool is very convenient and it will help you create beautiful pom poms in no time. 

Clover pom pom makers typically come in a set of two, I’ve also seen a set of four.

Currently, there are 7 sizes available:

  • Extra small – approx. 20mm and 25mm | 3/4″ and 1”
  • Small – approx. 35mm and 45mm | 1 3/8” and 1 5/8“
  • Large – approx. 65mm and 85mm | 2 1/2” and 3 3/8“
  • Extra large – approx. 115mm | 4 1/2“

Let’s begin!

PIN this for later!

SUPPLIES

To make pom poms you will need:

Clover Pom Pom maker

Yarn

Sharp scissors

First of all, choose the right pom pom maker size for your project.

TIP: Extra small and small sizes are great for craft projects and decorations. If you are planning to attach your pom pom to a hat I recommend using the large set for medium-sized pom poms and extra large for a big bold pom pom.

Experiment with various sizes to see which one works best for you!

The Clover pom pom maker is made up of two sides, that look like arches. Open one arch and align its halves, which are located side-by-side.

Now start wrapping the yarn around the arch. Pinch the loose end of your yarn with one hand facing the outer side of the arch and begin wrapping the yarn around.

Go back and forth a couple of times until you have the entire arch covered. When wrapping the yarn, try to keep the same tension and wrap it around the arch evenly. To make a full and dense pom pom wrap the yarn until it lines up with the base of the arch, but don’t overdo it, otherwise, you won’t be able to close the arch back and will need to unravel some yarn.

It’s not really important on which end of the arch you begin wrapping the yarn, but you want to finish on the outer end of the arch.

When you’re done with the first arch just close it, and pull the strand between the gap in the arch. Hold the yarn, so the tension doesn’t become too loose.

Open the second arch and continue wrapping the yarn around it.

When the second arch is done simply cut the yarn so it’s facing the outer side of the arch.

Take the scissors and place them into the gap of one of the arches, and cut the yarn all the way around including the strand between the two arches. Use the ridge between the halves of the arches as your guide. Don’t worry, your pom pom won’t fall apart!

Cut a long strand of yarn and wrap it around the ridge a couple of times, pull it tight, and tie a few knots to secure the pom pom.

Now open the arches, and pull the two pieces apart to release the pom pom.

Fluff the pom pom and trim the excess strands, that are sticking out.

You can use the strands, that you used to tie the pom pom together to attach it to your project or just cut them off. 

And you’re done, enjoy your pom poms!
