How to make smooth and fluffy pompoms from threads with your own hands
To make pompoms we will need knitting threads. Any wool, wool mixture, acrylic is suitable, you can make it from synthetics. Only cotton is not very suitable; it is unlikely to make fluffy balls.
How much yarn will you need? From one small skein you will get a pompom of approximately the same diameter as the skein itself, and from these considerations you can estimate the consumption.
For small crafts, you can just use leftover yarn.
You will also need a device for winding threads. You can buy a special plastic one or make it yourself from cardboard, or you can generally use any item that is at hand.
Pompoms using a cardboard device step by step
I want to say that while I was experimenting with different methods, I came to the conclusion that the most beautiful, even and fluffy pom-pom is obtained with the help of such a template. Although other methods have their advantages.
So, first of all you need to make the template itself.
On a piece of cardboard we draw a circle with a diameter of 3 cm - this is the most convenient internal ring size for medium-sized and large pompoms. At some distance from the inner circle you need to draw another one. According to the instructions that I read, we calculate this distance as follows: divide the estimated diameter of the future pompom by 2. I measured 2.5 cm, but in the end the pompoms turned out even larger - about 6 - 7 cm. Cut out the ring, cutting it in a straight line (see photo). We retreat 1 mm from the cut line and cut it off; such a small gap will be needed for the convenience of winding threads. We make another exactly the same template and put them on top of each other. We begin to wind the threads from the middle of the ring, opposite the cut lines, in one direction or the other. The more yarn is wound, the more fluffy and dense the pompom will be. The optimal amount of winding is until the inner diameter of the ring is reduced by half compared to the initial inner diameter of the ring, i.e. will become equal to 1.5 cm. If you make several identical pompoms, you will have to count the number of revolutions. When the yarn is wound, take a strong thread and place it between two pieces of cardboard, inserting it under both corners of the template
It is not at all necessary to take the same thread from which we make the pompom, it will still be invisible inside, it is important for us that it is strong and does not break when tying. Using scissors, cut the yarn between the circles, holding it with your hand. At the same time, we gradually move the thread around. The yarn is cut - we pull the thread and tie it tightly
We wrap it around the template a couple of times and tie it again. Now you can remove the cardboard, shake it and shape it into a pompom with your hands. We cut off the excess protruding threads.
This way you can make large yarn pompoms by adjusting the thickness of the cardboard rings.
This method requires accuracy and patience, but the result is truly excellent.
Colored pompoms
In addition, using a round template you can make cute multi-colored pompoms with a pattern.
It's very simple. We divide the template visually or using a pencil into the required number of parts and wind yarn of a certain color on each of them. Here you can experiment with both the number and width of the parts. You can even make just a couple of turns of a certain color and get colored dots on the pom pom.
When we cut the threads, we get this beauty!

Method No. 2
Making a pompom using cardboard rings.
- Draw a circle on thick cardboard, and then inside it another one, but of a smaller diameter. The distance between them will be equal to half the finished pompom, and, therefore, its full diameter will be twice the size. Then cut one side of the circle and increase the cut to about 1 cm. Cut out.
- Place the two prepared rings together and wind the required amount of yarn around them.
- Cut the wound threads by inserting scissors between the cardboard rings.
- Take another thread 30 cm long, fold it in half and thread it between the rings and tie it tightly.
- Carefully remove the rings and fluff the finished pompom.
A pom-pom made using this method turns out to be the most even and neat.
This way you can make a perfectly even pompom.

- Take any stool and turn it upside down.
- Wind the required amount of thread around the legs.
- Cut a lot of threads of 7–10 cm.
- Take one short thread at a time and tie each one on the wound threads, at a distance from each other equal to the size of the desired pompoms.
- Cut the wound threads exactly in the middle of each segment.
- Label each pompom.
Fabric ball
To get 1 ball, you will need to prepare pieces of fabric 1.5-3 cm wide and 2 cardboard crescents. Wrap the segments in half moons, but don't pull too tight. The end is fixed with a speller or glue. Using scissors, the strips are carefully cut in the center and removed. The thread is also pulled together and tied. If desired, you can cut in a circle.
Advice! If you want to use 2 colors in a pom pom, wrap exactly half of each color using the alternating method. Using threads of 2-3 colors, the ball will turn out to be multi-colored or even with a pattern from some image.
So, you can make pompoms from any available material. You saw it yourself. If you add creativity, others may be interested in seeing your efforts and the beauty of the product. You can buy pom-poms in a store, but making them yourself is unique, unusual and valuable.
And this is not a problem if you have never made pom-poms. It's very easy to learn. I hope that by following the tips in this article, you will become a master craftsman! Good luck with your experiments!
simple fluffy flower
In addition to roses, napkins are used to create wonderful fluffy flowers that look like asters or dandelions. You can see how to make dandelion above. A simple flower is made in a similar way. First, fold the folded napkin (in the form in which it was in the package) four times to make a square. Then they staple it in the middle and cut it into a circle. Next, layer by layer, all the “petals” are lifted, creating a fluffy flower bud.
Large inflorescence
Large flowers are also made, but several napkins are used (the more, the more magnificent the inflorescence) in their packaging size (that is, factory folded 4 times).
Fold the napkins in a stack, or simply carefully take 1/3 out of the package and staple them together in the center. Using a plate or mug, draw a circle on the workpiece and cut it with scissors along the contour.
Flowers can be given different shapes by making different edges (round, zigzag, hearts, petals). Then the paper layers are lifted up and the products are fluffed.
Another method of creating a flower is to tie circles in the middle with thread and then fluff up the “petals.”
Beautiful large paper flowers are used to decorate a photo zone or decorate a hall to celebrate a particular event.
How to make pompoms with your own hands. Option 1.
- knitting thread
1. Cut the knitting thread about 30 cm long and lay it on a flat surface.
2. Take a ball of thread and start wrapping the thread around your fingers. Don't wrap it too tightly, because... then you will have to remove it from your hand.
You can make a small, medium and large pompom. For a small one, you need to wrap it around one finger from 75 to 100 times, for a medium one - around two or three fingers 100-125 times, for a large one - around 3-4 fingers 125-150 times.
3. Remove the thread from your fingers and carefully place it in the middle of the cut piece of thread. Wrap this thread tightly around the removed piece and tie it in a knot, then turn and tie a knot on the other side.
4. Use scissors to cut the loops on the left and right. Just slide the scissors through the loops.
5. To make the pompom round, “cut” it with scissors.
Pompom from a bunch of threads
The last method is quite easy. Take a bunch of threads. Next, you need to tie it with a thread in the middle. After this, the bundle is folded into two identical parts.
Taking a couple of centimeters, you need to form several turns around the folded bundle of threads.
We tie the ends well and hide them inside. Next, you need to trim the ends of the threads in the bundle so that the pompom is neat and beautiful.
How to make a pompom for a fur hat
To create a decorative element from fur, you need the following set of tools and materials: fur, chalk, thread, needle, padding polyester, stationery fur, base for forming a circle.
How to make a pompom for a fur hat: step by step
The principle of making a fur pompom with step-by-step instructions:
- Lay the material so that the pile remains on the work surface. The product is marked on the reverse side.
- Decide on the diameter of the future pattern, since the size of the pompom will depend on this parameter.
- Attach an object to the material that, when traced, creates a circle: a plate, a saucer, the bottom of a jar. If necessary, you can use a compass.
- Using a utility knife, cut out the pattern. This tool is used to prevent the blade from damaging the fur pile.
- Select the sewing thread according to the color of the pile. The needle should not be too thick so as not to separate the warp threads.
- You need to sew the product with medium-length stitches through the edge of the cut. During the process, you need to pull out the pile, which is pressed under the sewing thread.
- There should be a piece of thread left at the beginning of the work and at the end. These parts will serve as a tightening for the formation of the bubo.
- When the entire perimeter of the edges is stitched, you need to put a little filler in the center. This technique will help improve the shape of the pompom and hide the voids in it.
- Pull the sewing threads together and tie them in several knots. Trim off the remaining material. Sometimes the edges are left to secure the element.
You can use another technique, which is simpler, but the result is not always satisfactory in appearance.
The shape will be deformed if the threads are pulled unevenly:
- Make a pattern from fur - cut out a circle with the required diameter. Draw one diameter and the second perpendicular to the first.
- At the ends of each diameter, make several stitches over the edge. In each case, the thread is fixed at the beginning of the work, and remains elongated at the end.
- When all 4 points are prepared, pull the sewing threads and tie them together. Tie into a knot, fixing the shape of the pompom.
You can make more than 4 anchor points. With this type of work, the shape of the finished product may turn out to be deformed.
Tassels, as one of the varieties of pom-poms
Tassels unobtrusively decorate knitted items, be it an accessory or a piece of clothing.
To get a beautiful tassel, you need to read the step-by-step instructions for creating pom-pom tassels with your own hands.
We place the thread across the template, and wind the rest of the yarn perpendicular to it. Upon completion of the winding process, we tie the tassel at a distance of 1-2 cm from the beginning with the original thread left. We trim the ends to the required length.

DIY pompom flowers: master class with photos
Paper pom pom flowers can be made in many different ways. The pompoms themselves already look like blooming lush flowers, but you can further enhance this effect.
- Take napkins of three colors - 2 pieces of each color.
- Fold in half and then one on top to form a rectangle.
- Make an accordion along the long side of the rectangle.
- Mark the middle and wrap it tightly with fishing line.
- The edges can be rounded with scissors, or the petals can be made triangular.
- Gently straighten the flower petals on one side and the other, bringing them towards the center, while the lower part of the pompom will also “go” into the upper “inflorescence” and you will get not a round pompom, but a lush flower.
Here's another easy way to quickly make paper carnations and even a bouquet of pompoms.
But using this simple technology for making pompom flowers, you can create poppies that are simply indistinguishable from real ones.
Refined spring vase
Crafts made from napkins are not limited to just flowers. From this wonderful material you can make or decorate almost anything, for example, a decorative flower vase. To make an unusual vase, you will need to stock up on the following materials:
- Napkins with elegant plant or animal patterns;
- Can – tin for coffee or juice;
- Acrylic white paint and putty;
- PVA glue;
- Stack;
- Brushes.
detailed instructions
- The jar is coated with paint on both sides, and then dried in a well-ventilated area.
- The top thin layer, where the pattern is located, is carefully peeled off the napkin. The fragments of the picture needed for the composition are cut off with your fingers. It is not advisable to cut them with scissors, as in this case the edge will be too smooth.
- The next one-color layer is glued to the outside of the prepared jar, tearing off small pieces according to the papier-mâché principle.
- Acrylic putty is applied in uneven strokes along the upper cut of the can, masking it.
- Next, on one side of the future vase, from top to bottom, a trunk and branches are formed using putty using a stack.
- The adhesive composition is diluted from one and a half parts PVA glue and one part water. Fragments with leaves, birds, butterflies, forest animals are placed on the surface of the jar in accordance with the compositional design and are carefully coated on top with a brush with an adhesive solution. During gluing, it is important to apply movements from the center of the fragment to the edges, carefully but carefully smoothing it, trying not to tear it.
- Having covered the entire surface of the vase, paint the neck to match the main background. To paint the branches and trunk, use brown paint to fill in all the irregularities.
- After the trunk has dried, decorative protrusions are highlighted with golden paint using a sponge. To do this, the sponge is lightly pressed against the desired area of the improvised trunk without indentation. A slight golden effect can be created over the entire surface of the vase.
A DIY vase is a beautiful and affordable accessory that allows you to transform your interior.
How to make a pom-pom from yarn, threads on a fork: step-by-step instructions, design ideas, photos, videos
brief instructions in pictures for creating a pom-pom on a fork. Needlewomen often decorate their work with pom-poms. They know how to make them in different ways. Let's consider a classic one using round cardboard blanks and a regular fork.
The peculiarity of the first method is that you wind the thread on 2 cardboards with a hole in the middle to the desired thickness. Then carefully cut the threads between them, and thread the thread to fasten the middle of the pompom. Pull it together and remove the blanks. The larger their outer diameter, the larger the pompom will be.
Below are instructions in pictures.

In the second method, the finished product will be small in size. The reason is the small distance between the 2 teeth. Proceed like this:
- place a short thread in the middle between pairs of teeth so that its ends hang down towards the handle
- wrap the thread around the outer teeth of the fork to the desired thickness
- pull one free end of the cut thread up so as to connect it to the other
- tie them tightly and remove the thread from the fork
- cut all the windings on the opposite side from the knotted place
Below is a visual cue in the photo.

A method for quickly making pompoms
In creative work, sometimes there is a need to get a lot of small “balls”. For example, for decorating blankets, rugs, shawls or curtains. An ordinary chair or stool will help you make pom-poms in bulk.
The master class contains steps showing how to quickly make a pompom:
- Turn the chair upside down;
- Wind the yarn between two supports, trying to maintain a horizontal position;
- Using a measuring tape, divide the resulting strip into equal parts and make notes with a marker;
- At the places where the marks were made, tie the winding tightly with pieces of thread;
- Between the constrictions, cut the winding;
- Trim the resulting “balls” with scissors and fluff them up.
- You can get 5-7 miniature pompoms at a time.
Tips for Newbies
It’s not difficult to create original soft spheres, but the goal will be accuracy and splendor. To create them exactly like this, you need to rely on several criteria:
- A porous, dense thread will help make the sphere more magnificent.
- The shade does not have to be matched to the main color of the hat. Contrasting will add zest to your everyday look.
- The scissors must be sharpened as much as possible to create a uniformly smooth sphere with quick and precise cuts.
- It is better to secure the element with thread, so it will keep its shape for as long as possible. Its original appearance will last a long time precisely because of such retention.
- If the product is planned with a pattern or completely multi-colored, it is better to print the layout in advance and rely on it while collecting the strands into a single whole.

- Thin wire or thread
Step-by-step instruction:
1. Cut the paper into A4 sheets (approximately 20*30 cm). For each pompom you will need 8 sheets of paper.
Fold like an accordion with a fold width of about 1.5 cm.
2. Bend the workpiece in the middle, tie it tightly with wire or thread at the bend (i.e. in the middle). If you plan to hang a pompom, make a loop of wire or thread.
Trim the edges of the workpiece on both sides.
Can be cut into a semicircle or triangle. The pompom will either have rounded edges or sharp edges.
3. Spread the paper and “fluff” it. Begin to carefully separate and straighten each sheet of paper, first on one side, and then on the other side, thus forming a fluffy pom-pom ball.
4. You will end up with a cute pom pom like mine.

Crafts from napkins for interior decoration (photo)
Crafts made from napkins can also serve as an excellent decor for any festive event. Decorating a wall with ordinary paper napkins and creating a cheerful atmosphere is not difficult even for beginners in this matter. For this we need:
Making decor from napkins
- We take napkins in the desired color scheme. It is better to combine several colors, so the festive decor will turn out more elegant.
- We unfold the folded napkin completely and from this position we begin to fold it into an accordion. You need to fold it so that each new bend coincides with the previous one; the width of the folded bend (strip) should be approximately 2-3 cm.
- After the entire napkin has been folded, it needs to be thoroughly ironed with your hand on both sides so that each wrinkle is clearly defined.
- Carefully fold the napkin in half along the marked center. In total we will need three such accordions, so we are making two more.
- Next, take scissors and round the edge of the folded napkin. We try to do this so that the edges of the accordion do not move and the cut is even. You can cut napkins in different variations so that the finished products differ from each other.
- Taking the edges of the napkin, we bring the upper and lower parts together to form a semicircle, fix it with a stapler or PVA glue. We proceed in a similar way with each accordion.
- All that remains is to glue all our blanks together. As a result, we should get a corrugated circle resembling a flower.
- Finished products are hung on a thread or glued to the wall with double-sided tape.
Stages of making a flower from a paper napkin
Decorating walls with napkin decor is very popular among decoupage artists.
A bright and stylish kitchen decoration that will give everyone a good and cheerful mood
Flowers made from paper napkins will look very beautiful on wooden legs. The material for them can be colored pencils, toothpicks or skewers.
Using colored napkins, you can organize an excellent photo zone
Paper art
This technique produces very beautiful things. From their appearance it is not clear that they are made of simple paper napkins.
To decorate a box in this style, you need to take:
- packaging of any napkins (color does not matter);
- small towel;
- PVA glue;
- acrylic paint in gold-colored cans.
Process of creation:
- Unfolded napkins are cut into strips of 2-2.5 cm.
- The towel is soaked in water and wrung out well (until damp, but not damp).
- Place the paper strip on the fabric and press lightly.
- The wet piece of paper is twisted into a rope with your fingers (on a flat surface).
- Any pattern can be drawn on the box.
- Then the flagella are glued along the lines of the ornament onto PVA. Leave to dry.
- Paint with acrylic paint (gold, silver).
In this way, you can create three-dimensional images of anything.
Ball of roses
Materials for work:
- Two packs of napkins of any color.
- PVA glue.
- Newspaper or magazine.
- Balloon.
- Scissors.
In order to make a ball of small paper roses, you need to follow the given algorithm:
- Lightly inflate the balloon until it becomes round.
- Tear the prepared newspaper or magazine into medium pieces.
- Glue these pieces onto the balloon using PVA glue. There must be at least four layers.
- While the ball is drying, you can start making roses. To do this, you need to take one table napkin, fold it in half, cut it in half and smooth out these halves. Next, these halves need to be cut in half. Thus, from one napkin you will get four roses.
- To start making a rose, you need to start rolling a piece of napkin along its length.
- Next, you need to twist a rose from this strip, forming folds - this way it will look more magnificent. When the strip ends, the end of the rose needs to be tied with thread or stapled.

Interesting master classes on making products from pompoms
The theme of making crafts from pompoms is actively used in everyday life. Following the tutorials with photos, it is very easy to make a soft toy for a child. Let's look at the process of creating some of them.
Dog
Even a child can make this simple toy with his own hands.
Let's prepare:
- white and gray yarn;
- felt for ears;
- beads or buttons for the nose and eyes;
- scissors, needle.
Step-by-step instruction:
- We make two pompoms of different sizes from white light yarn. The largest one will be the dog's body, and the smaller pom-pom will be its head. The threads used to tie the yarn do not need to be cut. They will come in handy when tying the parts of the toy together.
- We use gray yarn to make a pompom for the dog's face. Use scissors to give it a slightly elongated shape.
- Sew on the dog's eyes and nose.
- On a sheet of felt we cut out elongated blanks for the dog’s ears. We cut them out and sew them to the head.
- You can make some simple clothes for the finished toy, put on a hat or knit a bright scarf.
Festive Christmas tree
On the eve of the winter holidays, New Year's crafts become relevant. Together with your child, you can make a beautiful Christmas tree from green pom-poms. Children can easily cope with winding threads onto a workpiece.
For the craft you will need:
- green and red yarn;
- cardboard;
- hot glue;
- scissors;
- beads for decoration.
Let's get started:
- We glue a cone of the required size from cardboard under the base for the Christmas tree.
- We make the required number of pompoms from green yarn and attach them to the cone using a glue gun.
- We make small pompoms from red yarn and distribute them on the resulting Christmas tree. They will imitate Christmas balls.
- We decorate the Christmas tree with beads.
What would a Christmas tree be without a magical grandfather?

Rug made of pompoms
From multi-colored pompoms you can make not only toys, but also interior items. A rug made of soft balls will look very unusual in the room.
Let's prepare:
- yarn of the desired shades;
- mesh base for the rug;
- scissors.
Progress:

- We tie the pompoms to the base.
The cozy designer rug is ready.
There are many more ideas for using pom poms. For example, you can use them to make a topiary, a festive wreath or a multi-colored garland. Soft balls are also used as additions to clothing. Cute pompoms are used to decorate scarves, knitted gloves, and also decorate leather handbags.
Manufacturing process
If you follow the following sequence, you will not have a question about how to make pom-poms from napkins with your own hands. Here's the recipe.
- Take 5-6 pieces of colored napkins (at least two layers).
- Stack them on top of each other evenly so that the edges match.
- Make an accordion along the entire valley, ensuring that all sides are equal along the bends.
- Next, wind a thread, thin wire or colored ribbon in the middle of the resulting accordion.
- After tying the fan with thread, you need to trim (round) the edges. This is done with scissors, keeping the lines smooth, or sharp edges are cut off. Ultimately, the resulting product differs in structure.
- After trimming, you need to “fluff” the workpiece, bend and straighten all the edges, shake well, and finally straighten the product.
This completes the process of making a pompom from colored napkins. The finished product can be hung on the wall, creating a kind of panel, hung from the ceiling, attached to the backs of chairs, or placed on a holiday table next to the service as a napkin decoration.

Flower ball made of napkins. Step-by-step master class with photographs
This flower ball looks very festive and beautiful. It can be used to decorate rooms for the holidays. Decorative elements will bring coziness, comfort and a festive atmosphere to the interior.
To make a flower ball we will need:
1) Paper napkins of different colors,
4) Basis for the bouquet,
6) Flowerpot or vase.
I made the base using a balloon and threads dipped in office glue. You can make any base from a different material.
After the threads are dry, you pop the balloon and pull it out of the resulting ball of thread. The finished ball needs to be fixed on a vase (pots)
For flowers we take napkins, scissors and a stapler. Fold the napkin in half, then in half again (you get 16 layers)
. We fasten it in the middle with a stapler and cut the napkin in a circle.
Take the first layer and “assemble”
it to the middle up and do this with each layer.
Then fold each layer down. It turns out to be a flower like this.
We begin to attach the flowers to our blank using PVA glue.
If you get small gaps between the flowers, then you can cover them and at the same time dilute the flowers with leaves from green napkins.
It turns out to be an ever-blooming indoor flower that gives you a sunny mood every day.
The flower ball is ready!

This DIY flower ball made from napkins will surprise you not only with its splendor, but also with its simplicity of design. In order to make it, you need:
- Two packs of yellow napkins.
- Corrugated paper in bright green color.
- Decorative beads.

- Trim the edges of the resulting square with nail scissors. You need to get a circle. Trim all the leaves bent inside so that you get dandelion petals stacked on top of each other.
- Next, to make a ball of napkins fluffy with your own hands, you need to lift each “petal” from above in turn, stretching it a little and pressing it back. Next, the petals need to be folded into an assembly.
- Make new flowers from the remaining napkins.
- The resulting buds need to be glued with super glue onto a paper ball. We will do it using toilet paper and water. To make the base of the craft, you need to take an inflated balloon, put small pieces of toilet paper soaked in water on it. It is recommended to make several layers of paper.
How to make a pompom from napkins: step-by-step instructions, design ideas, photos, videos
The more magnificent you want the pompom, the more napkins you need to make it. For example, for the middle option, 3 napkins are suitable.
- Trim the edges of each with scissors.
- Stack them and arrange them like an accordion.
- Secure the middle with thin wire.
- Carefully go through each layer, leveling it.
- To make the napkins as fluffy as possible, level the layers only in one direction, leaving the other flat.
- Then you can glue it with another similar napkin.
In addition to processing with curly scissors, you can trim the edges in a semicircle or house. Fold the straightened napkins on top of each other, 10-15 pieces at a time, if your goal is large and delicate pom-poms. Such products are a good solution for decorating children's parties, as well as events involving children.
Pompoms made from napkins are hung from the ceiling or other objects, or glued to thin twigs or clothing.
