Pom Pom Pumpkins are as cute as can be! Such a fantastic addition to our Halloween decor!
There are endless variations so you can create your Pom Pom Pumpkin to fit your unique style.
Here’s what you’ll need:
yarn
stem {popsicle sticks, twigs, acorns, cinnamon sticks, etc.}
googly eyes
leaves
felt
pipe cleaner
Directions:
Start by wrapping the yarn around your fingers. The more fingers you use the larger your pom pom will be. Lay the bundle of yarn on top of a piece of yarn. Pull the yarn up and over the bundle and tie VERY tightly. Turn the bundle over and tie again {and again if necessary} ensuring that the yarn is secured tightly. Cut the loops of yarn all over the bundle. If you want a fuller pom pom, comb the yarn making sure to hold the center tightly so you don’t pull out any strands. Finally just trim the pom pom so it’s nicely shaped.
Here’s an example of a combed pom pom and an un-combed pom pom:
Here you can see the variety of sizes you can make:
You can use a variety of material for the stems – Reece went with a popsicle stick. We just wrapped the pipe cleaner around his finger to get the curl and then secured it to the popsicle stick.
Insert the stick into the pom pom and secure with hot glue if desired.
