To feed it through, you can wrap your twine around a needle, or I wrapped mine around one blade of my scissors since my twine was too thick for a needle. You'll want to feed this through the middle of the pom - if you're not sure where the middle is, you can look through the yarn bits to see your yarn piece where you cinched it. Take your twine and cut off about a 6-inch piece (this can be trimmed later).Trim all the way around the pom to your liking.Slide your open scissors into the newly-made crease where the yarn was wrapped and cut at the fold.Tie the piece of yarn tightly into a double knot. Tie the piece of yarn together very tightly and slide it off your fingertips. Push the piece of yarn between your middle and ring finger where your fingers meet your hand and have the other end of the piece of yarn meet it on the other side between the same fingers. Loosen the yarn already around your fingertips a bit and slide it just slightly toward the tips if your fingers. Cut a piece of yarn about 6 inches long.The more fingers you wrap it around and the more times you wrap it, the bigger the pom will be (I did four fingers, 40 times). Take your yarn and wrap it around your fingers where they meet your hand.It's kind of like being a holiday foster family! So I picked this little guy out - it's under 4 feet - took him home and named him Kringle, much to my husband's chagrin.Īfter Tyler did all the literal dirty work (potting this baby), I got to do the fun part - decorating while watching/reciting "Home Alone." I also spotted these super fun yarn pom ornaments at IKEA (as well as the other ornaments I did buy, like these fun paper gems), but I was like, no way am I paying for something that I can make for about 1/10 of the cost and customize, especially when I already have the stuff and can pump them out in one sitting of "Love Actually." So, here we are. I'm not sure if they do this in the states, but at our local IKEA, they had these real trees for 15€ that you pot instead of chop, and then when Christmas is over, you bring the tree back and they replant it and give you a gift card. This is our second Christmas as a married couple and our first tree together! I was pining (yeah puns!) over getting a real tree this year and I didn't think it would happen until I spotted some incredibly affordable - and apartment-sized! - ones at IKEA with a really cool program.

But we weren't hosting Thanksgiving this year and the Italians have already begun (they obviously don't celebrate Thanksgiving so there is no buffer to the Christmas madness) and I was just like, "When in Rome." Just about literally. Lastly, attach the bear’s head to its body and place a ribbon tie on its neck.Yeah, I decorated for Christmas, okay? I'm the worst. Glue on two beads on the face for the bear’s eyes. Attach the pompom nose to the bear’s head. Place a safety button on top to make the bear’s nose. Mine is for making blankets so if you want to make cushions it will need to be smaller. Tie a piece of yarn around the bundle tightly and cut the loops to make a small pompom. I have just made a loom to make pompom blankets or cushions. Using white cotton yarn, wrap a bundle around 4 fingers. Use the tip of the scissors to secure it. Attach both knot ears to the bear’s pompom head.
