DIY Pompoms!

How to make a pompom

In todays post I am going to show you guys how to make your own pompoms. I got these pompom makers from wish and they were super inexpensive ($2) but work perfectly. It is a super easy way to make pompom rugs or pillows or just pompoms in general. I am working on a pompom rug right now so stay tuned for that. Anyways here is the DIY.


Here is what I have right now for pompoms, I thought I would have more by now since I started 4 days ago but I've just been really busy and also just don't have the patience to sit for that long. They actually are really easy and fast to make though.


Materials

- Pompom maker (mine is from wish but you can also find them at craft stores)
- Yarn
-Scissors


Steps

1. Wrap the yarn around the pompom maker like the picture above.
2. Wrap it around again, the more you wrap it the fluffier it will be.
3. Cut the string and do the same thing on the other side.
4. Cut around the pompom maker. You have to cut all the yarn in half basically, you'll see what I'm talking about when you have the pompom maker.
5. Tie a string around the middle the pompom.
6. Take apart the pompom maker to get the pompom out.
7. Trip the extra yarn to make it more shaped like a ball.
8. If you are making a rug like me keep the long strand on the pompom.


Here is one of my finished pompoms! I hope you enjoyed this DIY.

Free DIY wooden box This is honestly one of my favorite DIYs and it cost me no money at all. It took me awhile to make but that just because I did it over multiple days a little bit at a time. It took about 6 hours total but like I said I just split it up into about 30 minutes a day. So anyways here is the finished project. I used this to hold my art supplies but if you make it from a bigger box you could use it for clothes or really anything you want. So here is how you make it.  <-- cardboard box Materials - cardboard box - popsicle sticks - hot glue - paint (optional) Steps 1. Cut all the rounded ends off the popsicle sticks, this takes the most time and you don't HAVE to do it but I just prefer the look. 2. Start hot glueing the popsicle sticks onto the box, I staggered mine to give it a more real looking effect. 3. Take a break at some point because this is a lotttt of work and also hurts your hands a lot if you are cutting the popsicle sticks. 4

DIY Storage Window Seat! Hello! For my first post I am going to be showing how I turned my shelves into a window seat. It's a very simple DIY that can really add to your house. Window seats are getting pretty popular in houses so I thought I would just think of a way for a teen like me to make one. This is the final window seat. I am very happy with how it turned out.
