DIY Faux Pompom any size

[@mellodym5931]

Here are some time-stamps for you, Clare. I enjoyed this video. Got tickled when you mentioned the Troll dolls. I was thinking it when you said it. LOL! And pompoms are as close as I get too, as I too am allergic to cats! 0-1:56 Intro 1:56 Matching Thread and Supplies Needed 7:05 Preparing and Cutting the Fur 13:20 Combing the Fur 14:46 Sewing and Stuffing the Fur 19:44 Closing The Pompom 25:29 Grooming the Pompom 28:58 Australian Wombat

I made my mum and myself a super chunky dark grey winter hat and used black faux fur to make Pom poms to go on top, I got mine from EBay UK it was £6.99 for a fat quart of luxury black faux fur, and well worth it as no animals had to be killed for it, as an animal lover I love that I can have a furry Pom Pom and wear it guilt free knowing it fake xxx

[@debt8632]

Yay! I'm excited to see a live chat with Clare!

[@TheInvisibleJoin]

It is so wonderful to see you Claire. I have made so many of your patterns and you basically taught me how to crochet!!! I too make pom poms and I buy from Joanne Fabrics a big box store. When I brought the fake fur up to the cutting counter the salesperson was cutting through the fur and I showed her how to cut it right. She didn't quite understand how that works and I have a feeling she is back to cutting it the wrong way. I was surprised they didn't know how to do it. Anyways you are a great teacher!! They need you there. I am so looking forward to following you again.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Wendy Wesa thank you so much ! Oh my goodness, you would think that they would be the first to know,. I need to drop buy and give them a lesson haha. That is how I learnt to cut fabric when I worked in a craft store. Oh yes I bet they are back to their old cutting ways 😬 Happy crochet ❤

[@lisastreasures]

So cool. Love the multi colored one. Looks like it's lit up.❄

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Lisa Swickard ! Yes It does, such a pretty fur. I need to make a bigger one. Thank you so much for watching my video, happy crochet!

[@eayala157]

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you! Yes there are expensive here to. Small ones are over 10 and with $20 worth of supplies I can make at least 5 or 6 !

[@theponcholady10]

Oh my gosh this is awesome! What a great way to make pom poms!

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@ericabates5361]

Hello Claire, so pleased you are back 😁💕 I hope you are doing ok 😋 & this is a fabulous idea! thank you for the tutorial 💜 Erica x

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you Erica ! Yes good to be back and feeling much more like myself again

[@anamakda4879]

Welcome back!!! 😍❤️😘 It’s so good to have you back posting videos again! Your video tutorials are so well explained, thank you so much! Love the idea of making Faux PomPoms, I was going to buy some on my last yarn shopping trip, but they were so big & heavy that they would have been too floppy for the hat!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Ana Makda thank you so much ! It is great to be back ! Yes they can get heavy the bigger they are, I guess too its what the factories stuff them with Happy crochet ❤

[@thatchertheodore9691]

instaBlaster...

[@Cuckoo4DiamondPainting]

Looks pretty easy as long as you pay attention. I may give it a try. I wouldn’t know where to buy it, but someone from the US mentioned JoAnns, so I’ll look there

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes they are easy. Just take it easy when you cut the fur

[@pampreast9921]

So good to see you back......TFS

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you so much Pam!

[@jolenelarson469]

Excellent tutorial! I had no desire or need to make this (I have several spare fur pom-poms at the moment) but this looks so fun I want to try it, lol. Thank you!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you Jolene, you will have enough for all the things because because they are addictive to make

[@christiebaker3949]

I'm so glad your back I missed your sweet self!!!!! Oh the wombat is so cute!!! If that was me I would have went outside trying to pet him and talked to him like I do the deers that come through our yard lol. Our neighbors probably think I'm crazy if they hear me lol 😂.

[@CrochetwithClare]

I wish I could pat them. They are very timid

[@kerriwolfton3195]

I enjoyed watching this.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you Kerri !

[@aac259able]

I like to use an exacto knife on the backing. I'm always so scared of cutting the fur 😆!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Great tip

[@haroldcamposl.9940]

Hello Bob, see you channel, es very interesting, saluting from Lima - Perù 😃😃😃👍👍👍

[@knithappy]

I have learned so much from you ! Yet another great tutorial ❤️❤️

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Sandra Bendig thank you so much for watching my video, happy crochet!

[@belantww]

It’s great to have you back!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Maribel A. thank you so much ! Happy crochet ❤

[@jygood3718]

So lovely to hear you. Great video tutorial and very clearly explained

[@egstanley]

Welcome back Claire; you have been missed! That was a great tutorial; I have been wanting to make some of those fur pom-poms!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Elizabeth Stanley thank you so much ! Happy crochet ❤ I bet once you make one, there will be more to come, they are very addictive !

[@lindahep9160]

Thanks for jumping online live 🥳

[@CrochetwithClare]

You are very welcome!

[@Theresaknits]

Nice job Claire! Although I would not buy animal fur now, I do have my mother's mink stole, that I would like to use and have a memory of her.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Theresaknits thank you for your comment. I think that is a beautiful idea. Not sure how soft the skin is on the mink, if it is soft, just be careful when you cinch it up

[@lenaraullo5263]

Welcome back. I love your video tutorials as they are clear and very understandable. Happy Holidays🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Len Araullo thank you so much ! Happy crochet ❤

[@CrochetwithClare]

Whoops hit enter too quick, happy holidays to you too !

[@classykimscrochet1424]

Really Cool Clare💜💙❤🧡💛🖤💚💗

[@judyf3684]

Thank you for this tutorial. I've been unable to find pre-made poms in the size I want, so now I can make them myself. I love all colors, like to match the poms to the color of hat I'm making. I' understand that fake fur is sold at Joann Fabrics, as well as possibly Hobby Lobby and Michaels. Seems to me this is a product best not purchased online, as it's hard to tell from photos as to how long the fibers truly are.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Judy F thank you and you are very welcome, yes I would say if you can get into the store to have a feel of the fur that would be great. Yes I too find it hard to find ones in the size I want and they are also expensive ! Thank you so much for watching my video and for supporting my channel

[@michellecarter7101]

Ive got only one store really to buy fabric at here in Vancouver 🇨🇦 called Fabricland! Omg! U've got no idea how badly I wanna stick one on the end of my pattern pencil! 😁 Oh the memories!! Lol I've definitely found my next non crochet / knit project !!! Best furry pompom tutorial I've seen!! Kudos! 👌 Wait.. What the What!! That fur baby at the end looked almost like a giant squirrel.. ur dogs must go mad over there!! Lol 🤣

[@CrochetwithClare]

It would be so cool on the end of a pencil! It's a wombat. Yes our dog used to get chased by them haha

[@christinevoss6993]

Love this! Can't wait to try it. The wombat was soo adorable thanks for sharing him.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Christine Voss thank you so much for watching my video, happy crochet!

[@terrieblackett9259]

Yes you can see it

[@12Squared]

I buy my fabric at JoAnn's in the US and I'll probably make a whole rainbow of them when they put fur on sale again! :D

[@CrochetwithClare]

It is hard to stop at just one colour ! Hope they have a good sale soon for you

[@kathrynjones848]

I’m so glad you’re back‼️❤️

[@rbynfairy]

I have no clue what I’m going to do with Pom poms but I want to make these! I found a better selection on amazon in the green colour I’m looking for (cuz it’s my favorite colour) but no new projects till I organize my yard stash… looks like I have a plan over winter break! Love you Claire, you are a wonderful teacher and have so much inspiring projects

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Robyn Peterson thank you so much ! Happy crochet ❤

[@annaduvall4106]

The way you measure your thread is how I measure yardage, from the center of my chest to the end of my fingers is roughly 3 feet, give or take an inch or two. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Anna DuVall thank you for the tip ! That will come in handy in so many ways. Thank you for watching

[@lilbitsofyarn]

wonderful tutorial

[@cindynicholas1615]

I bought mine at Joann’s.

[@cathykinsella6729]

Pom poms ❤️

[@Tanacarroll]

Joanne’s here in the states has all the fur material and threads to complete this project. I buy my Pom poms from Amazon. I love the ones with the snaps that you can take on and off. They are reasonably priced actually too. No mess or fuss and they come in all colors too.

[@nossapossa6741]

Very pretty.thank you

[@belantww]

I bought my faux fur at Joann Fabrics (US). They have it by the yard, but I was able to find it in small packages.

[@PamelasCrochetKnitCorner1]

Yay! Welcome back!!!!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you !!!

[@dianecole5582]

Another great video thanks

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Diane Cole thank you so much ! Happy crochet ❤

[@simonemaffey5845]

Aaaaawwww I'll be at work but will watch the replay🙂

[@CrochetwithClare]

That is the beauty of KZbin, you can always watch the reply :)

[@VioletPapillon]

Glad to see you! Nice tutorial, very easy to follow and those pompons look awesome♥ But i giggled, just because the here very well known Gütermann thread from Austria is also known in Australia! (And Wombats are so cute!)

[@graciekanalas7285]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I shared it with my niece. Hugs from Texas💖

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@deel2167]

I'm also a sewist but never once thought about making my own pom poms! Duh! A tip if you're using a light coloured fur, instead of thread you can use dental floss! Much stronger than thread (especially the plastic kind) and still able to be threaded through a needle. Also, I can't hear "wombat" without thinking, "Wombat stew, wombat stew, gooey, brewy, yummy, chewy, wombat stew!" 😂

[@jygood3718]

Yes, that's what I do too. I also use it for gathering the top of a beanie

[@christines1924]

I still have my troll doll!! It sits on my bedtable!! I'm 64 😜

[@CrochetwithClare]

Oh that is so cool !!! Wish they still sold the old style ones. Mine was blue

[@deborahheindel6203]

Clare, it's so nice to hear from you. Are you feeling better? Your voice sounds good. Thank you so much for the really informative tutorial. I'll have to look for the fabric, now I know for what to look. I have 2 questions off topic. Was that a combat at the end there? That's the 1st I've ever seen, other than in an encyclopedia. And, was that a slate table on which you did your craft? I have one we use as a dining room/kitchen table. I've never seen another. I love mine, but it sure is heavy.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Deborah Heindel thank you so much ! Yes I a, feeling much better. Yes that is a wombat outside our front door, they are very timid and will run if you get too close to them No my table is timber, might not even be solid wood, not sure. Your slate table sounds beautiful Happy crochet ❤

[@theculteredvulture13]

Yay!

[@fthorpe]

Love these!!

[@mareencope8421]

I can't wait to make my own pom poms. I'll buy the fun fur at JoAnn's in the US.

[@leahbradley3937]

How easy did you make it look to make these pom poms, I shall definitely be buying some of this fun fur at Spotlight in the Boxing Day sales.... I shall be making these. Thanks for this tutorial.

[@TinTinParksakaWestergaard]

Yeah they were fun to play with

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Tanya Parks thank you for your comment, they sure are and they are addictive to make haha

[@TinTinParksakaWestergaard]

Yes

[@kipperlane8959]

Great tutorial!👌

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Kipper Lane thank you so much for your wonderful feedback

[@ppyli]

I love wombats!!!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day ppyli thank you for your comment, me too !

[@kathleenchamp3764]

Isn't the wombat to cute. A bit if a mini bear with a pug puppy face. lolol Are they mean or sweet or? Claire, how many inches across was the round circle you started with? I know we can do any size but is a good reference point. Dk you sew rubberband/ hair pony/ hair ties to te l the back so you can attach n detach from hat for washing? It's a great lil video by the way🤗 🧶🎄🧶🎄 Merry Christmas Haha you just said 3 to 4 inches ohh my I was listening so hard I missed it. 🤦‍♀️

[@kathleenchamp3764]

Actually. Bwahahaaa😂🤣😂 no reply. Originally ment to and.. things happen. N0 biggy I thought id seen it too thats really bad! Hahaaa who's message did i..oh ya, ok I remember. Might have answered on a different message I'll read a bit😁 see you next week with ( bells) 🛎on!

[@yovillianify]

maybe I'm too picky but don't we comb with a comb and brush with a brush?

[@debramurray5132]

Hi Clare

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi Debra! Thank you for watching

[@ericabates5361]

Hello Claire, what animal was in your garden? 😋 Erica x

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes near my front door. But as soon as it saw me it ran back to his burrow

[@kerryrandall6618]

Wombat, a burrowing herbivore, they like to sleep out of the sun in their hole.🙂Found in the nontropical parts of Australia

[@CrochetwithClare]

Sorry I forgot to say it was a wombat ! Kerry explain it very well

[@fuzzylimefairy]

How do you put a band on it to make it removable from the hat to wash the hat?

[@CrochetwithClare]

you would just sew your small band or elastic to the inside of the edges right before you finished sewing it up completely.
