# 1

Start by taking your yarn and wrapping it around a hard surface. You can use your hand, a small piece of cardboard or any other small surface.

# 2

Continue wrapping the yarn. The more times you wrap the yarn, the thicker your pom pom will be. As a point of reference, I wrapped the yarn around my hand 30 times for this particular pom pom.

# 3

Slip the wrapped yarn off of your hand or surface and using a separate piece of yarn, tie a knot around the center.

# 4

Slip scissors through the loops on each end of the pom pom and cut across to create the fringe.

# 5

Fluff the yarn to form the pom pom.
