Package Pom-poms How To.

One of my favorite things about giving a gift is packaging it! Here's a fun way to add a little fluff to gift giving. I make these simple pompoms like this:

* Tie up your package and leave the ends of the tied yarn long

* Loosely wind yarn around your hand. (In this case I used just three fingers because I wanted it to be a bit smaller.) For this one I wound around 15 times.

* Carefully slip the yarn off your fingers and position it on top of the loose ends on your package like this:

* Tie the loose ends up and around, pulling tightly to secure the yarn loops.

* Trim the ends to the same length as the loops

* Clip the loops and fluff the yarn to finish your pompom.

I've seen pompom makers that make tight, fluffy pompoms, but I like this method for a loose and slightly messy looking pom for gift toppers. I also like to use different types of yarn in other colors to add some interest like this one that I did for my friend's baby shower.
