I've been wanting to try out The Loome Tools ever since I found out we'd be getting one of them in our swag bags at the Create Now Summit this May. Thanks to Melissa and arounna, I was able to try out the Loome Pom Pom and Tassel Maker and the Loome Pom Pom Trim Guide a little early so I could add some handmade pom poms to a few of the Easter DIY projects that I'm working on.
You'll need the Loome pom pom tool and pom pom trim guide, yarn and scissors.
Secure yarn to one of the notches on the loome pom pom tool ...
wind yarn around and around ...
tie the centre core using a single strand of yarn (or twine) ...
remove pom pom from loome and double knot ...
cut loops on both sides ..
use the pom pom trim guide to give your pom pom a "haircut" on each side ...
continue trimming until you like the shape of your finished pom pom!
Check back to see how I used these pom pom on with of my favourite Easter packaging supplies from Creative Bag.
Note: I used cotton yarns to make these Easter themed pom poms. The finished pom poms were not as dense and fluffy as pom poms made with wool yarns but I think that they are perfect for my spring time projects.
