We twist-twist a masterpiece of threads
How to make a pom-pom craft? First you need to practice making the pom-poms themselves. For this you will need:
- A cardboard circle of the size that the pompom is supposed to be made,
- Scissors,
- Threads of the same or different colors,
- Needle.

The manufacturing process is simple:
- It is necessary to wind the thread around the workpiece, threading it into the hole, in one direction, tightly occupying the entire free surface of the cardboard.
- Then cut off the thread and thread the free end. Carefully cut the resulting yarn blank along the outer edge with scissors.
- If there are 2 cartons, gently move them apart. Take a needle and thread the used thread through it.
- Slide the needle to the inner side of the yarn fold and draw along the entire inner diameter, so as to "hook" all the rows.
- Then remove the cardboard and tighten the resulting lock.
- You should get a relatively even ball of threads.
If desired, it can be trimmed with scissors.
