This should be fun
So I keep seeing folks putting adorable pom poms on top of hats. And I have sort of a lot of hats. And now? Now I also have a pom pom maker…
I have this one, which makes what they call large pom poms, but there are lots of other sizes too. I watched a couple of youtube videos (this one was handy) and jumped in.
There was a bit of this.
Then a bit of this.
Then it was time to do this. (By the way, this whole project reminded me just how much I love my tiny, sharp scissors…I’m not actually sure how you do this without them…)
And in a moment here, I’ll do some trimming and see where we are. I’ll report back later, but I suspect this could be habit forming!
I can’t wait to see how it comes out with the two colors! My 4-year-old insists on a pompom on all of his hats which I find super adorable.
wow…cool. I just bought 3 pairs of the scissors…thanks for the link!
They’re my favorite scissors…they make the little snick noise when you close them (meaning the blades are actually firmly against one another), and they’re small enough that I’ve had no problem getting them on an airport. I keep them in all my travel knitting bags!
Are yours the 2.5″ scissors or the 3″ scissors? I need some snick in my life, especially around fine sock yarn.
Pom poms are SO ADDICTIVE. You will find yourself putting them on everything, not just hats. EVERYTHING. (Watch out, cats! You have tails…)
I love my pom pom maker.
