How to make yarn pom-poms
It's common to add pompoms to crocheted hats, for example.
We hope this will be helpful in such situations, so here we will explain how to make bonbons using cardboard.
Among the free crochet patterns on this site, there is "Children's beret with pompomsThere are also some creations that use pompom decorations, such as "," so please see the recipe page for instructions on how to knit them.

It is a good idea to make it slightly larger than the diameter of the pompom you want to make (so that you can trim the long hairs to make them all the same length at the end of the process).
I made them large enough so that I could cut them easily.
Here, we make it about 5cm high and the finished size will be about 4.5cm.

I used cotton yarn here, so I wrapped it around this much, but if you use wool yarn, it will shrink tightly when you tie it in the middle, so you may be able to wrap it around a few more times.

Because I used cotton thread here, even when I tied it tightly, the center didn't get very thin, and it looked like the thread might break if I pulled it all the way, so to reinforce it I tied it tightly once with thick sewing thread, and then wrapped wool around it and tied it again.
The last wrap of yarn will be used to secure the hat.


All that's left to do is cut off any excess hair and trim it into a nice round shape.

Arrange a hair tie using yarn pom-poms
I thought this might be one way to use yarn pom-poms.
How about a hair tie like this?
Depending on how you wind the thread, the finished product can vary from plump, round pompoms to ones that are a little less dense.
Here, I've made a pompom with a slightly thinner thread density into a hair tie.
Pompoms made by pulling together two colors of yarn also have a nice feel.

The photo above shows yarn wrapped around cardboard cut into a U-shape.
Since Christmas is approaching, I tried wrapping two strands of medium-fine yarn in a Christmas-like color around the fabric.

First, temporarily secure it with yarn while it is still attached to the cardboard, then remove it from the cardboard.

I cut and removed the temporary fastening thread (although I don't think it's a problem if you leave it on).

It was a cute color, so I decided to leave the fur long.

That's it!
