The size of the cardboard circle will determine the size of your pompom, so choose the size you want accordingly.

Once you have your materials, wrap your yarn around the cardboard circle until it's thick enough. The more yarn you use, the fuller your pompom will be.

Make sure you don't wrap the yarn too tightly, as this can make it difficult to cut later.

Once you have wrapped the yarn around the cardboard circle, carefully remove it from the cardboard, being sure to hold onto the center of the yarn to keep it from unraveling.

Cut another piece of yarn, and tie it around the center of the yarn bundle, making a tight knot. Leave the ends of the knot long, as you will need them later.

Next, using a sharp pair of scissors, cut through the loops on both sides of the knot. Be sure to cut all the way around, making sure you don't miss any strands.

Once you have cut through all the loops, you will have a rough-looking pompom.

To make it nice and round, give it a good trim with your scissors, making sure all the strands are roughly the same length. You can trim it shorter for a smaller pompom, or longer for a fuller one.

Finally, tie the long ends of the knot tightly, so your pompom doesn't come apart. Fluff out the strands, and voila! You now have a beautiful, fluffy pompom.

In conclusion, making a pompom is a fun and easy activity that anyone can do. With just a few simple steps, you can create a perfect pompom every time.

Whether you're adding them to a hat, scarf, or just making them for fun, pompoms are a playful and quirky accessory that will add a touch of fun to any project.

So, grab your scissors and yarn, and start making some pompoms today!
