How To Make Heart PomPom With Your Finger

Materials Needed:

• A piece of paper
• Sharp scissors (a big one and a smaller one)
• Your hands
• Yarn (100% acrylic yarn recommended, but any yarn can be used)
• Optional: A stick for decoration

Steps:

1. Prepare Your Heart Template:
   1. Cut out a heart shape from a piece of paper. Thicker paper may be easier to work with, but regular paper will also suffice.
2. Prepare the Yarn and Wrap:
   1. Cut a piece of yarn and set it aside. This will be used to tie the pom pom later.
   2. Lay your hand flat and start wrapping the yarn around your four fingers. Leave a little space between your fingers.
   3. Wrap the yarn around your fingers 120 times (or fewer if using thicker yarn).
3. Secure the Wrap:
   1. Carefully slide the wrapped yarn off your fingers.
   2. Place the cut piece of yarn (from step 2.1) under the middle of the wrapped yarn.
   3. Tie the yarn tightly around the middle of the wrapped yarn and secure it with a knot.
   4. Repeat the tying process on the other side, securing it with a knot again.
4. Cut and Shape the Pom Pom:
   1. Use your scissors to cut through the loops of the wrapped yarn.
   2. Continue cutting all the way around until you have a round pom pom.
5. Form the Heart Shape:
   1. Place your paper heart template on top of the pom pom.
   2. Hold the template in place with your thumb.
   3. Start cutting around the template, leaving a little space between the paper and your scissors.
   4. Carefully cut the yarn following the template shape to form the heart.
6. Detail the Heart Shape:
   1. Use smaller scissors to refine the shape, especially in the middle indent of the heart.
   2. Continue shaping and trimming until you are satisfied with the appearance of your heart pom pom.
7. Finishing Touches:
   1. Remove the paper template and make any final adjustments to your heart pom pom.
   2. If desired, attach a stick or keychain hook for decoration.

Optional Uses:

• Keychain
• Decoration for gifts
• Flower arrangement decoration

Enjoy making your heart pom pom!
