I was making my pom pom and tying it together my string broke, then I remembered my hint from Helouise. She said when putting buttons on use dental floss, never come off. Got a piece of dental floss about 2 foot long, folded in half, easier on hands. Used it and worked perfectly had extra to tie pom pom on and could pull as hard as needed no breakage. Just tie extra good.
Have to leave a comment and say thank you so much for the first method! I was seeing the fork versions and I tried it 3 times and it didn't work! I was going to give up making pompom but then decided to search once more and found your video and tried the first hand method. It's the easiest method and it worked and I realised I was tieing the same directions to the ones I have to cut so thanks for the info of tieing it opposite direction!
My experience; cut your two donut cardboard pieces as you have done. Take the 'tie' yarn and put it between the two parts. Now start winding the yarn onto the donuts opposite the gap. The tie yarn will stay there now so you can being the ends down near the gap. When you have completed the windings pull the tie yarn ends into the gap and the start tying. As you cut the wound yarn you can pull the tying yarn and that will stop you losing the lot just when you need three hands,😊😊 Regards, JennyB
No matter how many times I rap it or how tight the string is, no matter what I can't fluff it up enough to cover the piece of string tying it. Each one I do you can clearly see the slit the tied string made.
One I missed, When I cut between the two cards of the donut I use a scalpel or box knife as my scissors are too thick to get between the cards, Regards, JennyB
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you so so much. It helped me a lot. now I have the perfect pom poms. My friends loved them a lot. Thank you a lot again.
