Greatest tutorial teacher ever. Sense of humour and knowledge is second to none. Awesome.

[@Nectariamech]

Thank God there's still someone who can smile while giving instructions!!! With most of the videos I feel as if I am going to take exams on their subject right after they finish! Good work girl! Loved your video and your humor!

[@kitlandwehr1503]

This is the best tutorial I've watched in a while! Thank you : )

[@IHeartENJO]

Best tutorial ever... never would have thought! Please share more of your quirky knowledge with us!

[@MsKerryjames]

One of the most refreshing tutorials I have seen in a long time Well Done Thank you

[@katie1abrams]

I've never commented on a video before but yours is so darn excellent I couldn't not. :) Like bexwheeler says below, this is the best how-to video on KZbin. I appreciate your vocabulary, your pace, your demeanor, your smile and your clear instruction. I hope you'll share your how-to knowledge in many more future How-to videos! Thank you!

[@Vittoria10538]

I've just started crocheting tons of hat/attached neckwarmer/convertible mitten sets to sell on Etsy and in a local shop, and this weekend, am starting my kids' line. I am so grateful I came across your video, because I'm going to need LOTS of pom poms. I love the idea of making them in bulk because I don't want to waste time making them one by one that I would otherwise use crocheting. Or eating, sleeping, bathing and working fulltime at my law firm.

[@mouseyhousewife]

My sister requested a ton of different sized pompoms to be attached to the scarf I knitted her. It was taking me ages making them the cardboard ring way. I am so thankful for your tutorial! Thank you so much Jenine! :)

[@folske1]

Oh, how I wish that I had found your video just a couple of days ago so that I could have cut down the time that it took me to make a pom poms Christmas wreath yesterday by about 75%. I made 25 pom poms one at a time, and now I feel like a fool. This is a great approach that you have described here, truly! And, you presented it so clearly, all the while being entertaining and delightful. Thank you! Liked and subscribed!

[@gemmaflavin]

As always, your videos are amazing, funny, colorful and informative! Pompoms rule! I'm an art teacher and when you show a class how to make pompoms they think you have magic powers! You are wonder woman with better color combinations!

[@roxcraftdesigns]

What a fabulous tutorial. You should have your own show.

[@felicitynco]

Roxanne Tamborello I agree. She is a hoot. She defiantly needs her own show.

[@rustydip1]

As soon as I saw you hammer in the nails I knew what you were going to do. BRILLIANT VIDEO!!! Great minds think alike... Thanks for sharing this!!!

[@Awakeningwonder]

I'm so grateful that I found this video BEFORE I started my project for a Pom Pom Rug for my kid. Whew! You've saved me a ton of time. I watch most videos in fast time so the Benny Hill bit was SuperFast!

[@mariamwraith1149]

your video was not only easy to understand but also had a wonderful sense of humour

[@TrinaFallon]

Love how you explain the technique and purpose of each step. It thoroughly educates each action so that if a person is doing it for the first time they can evaluate what they're doing. It can help them make sure they're doing it right their first time. Well at least for me anyway! Cool tutorial. I hope you have more.

[@HudsonSopranoUkulele]

I've just started making a pom pom covered jacket with those little store bought things, you are such a lifesaver! I'm so thankful I came across your videos!

[@ellam2745]

OMG!!! That's so brilliant! I wanted to make a pom pom rug for my baby's nursery but the thought of making each pom pom at a time made me give up my idea...now I will finally make this rug. Thank you so much!!! :*

[@Gillians37]

Thanks for this great idea! Do you think this can be done with yarn made from old tshirts? Any thoughts or ideas on how to transfer the technique? Thanks!

[@rondajenkins3649]

Love your idea. Any suggestions if you want specific sizes of pom poms? For example if I need a lot of 2 1/2 " and 3 3/8" for making snowmen?

[@JenineProvidence]

+Ronda Jenkins Nothing beats making samples. Keep track of how many times you wound the yarn around the nails, and how far apart the belts were spaced. Make 2 batches of different sizes, make them bigger than you need and trim them down to size. It also sounds like a project where the proportionate relationship matters more than the actual size. I hope noone will be taking calipers to your snowmen.

[@leahsantos746]

Scrolling through trying to find a good pom pom video and found this... You're personality is great!! Usually I'll start watching a video and if it don't keep my attention I move on... Your video was great.... Love the way you describe things... Great humor.. But of course you're from Providence Rhode Island!!!!! I love Providence... I live in Bristol Rhode Island and know Providence very well!! I'll check out your other videos also!! Good day. Leah

[@mikerogers6136]

You are entertaining as well as smart, I like your attention to detail and the way you explain things. Thank you for your time and effort.

[@Carly-nm6fl]

Yessss!!!! Finally... someone who knows earth is actually an oblate spheroid AND makes tons of really cool pom poms! :) Awesomeballs!!!

[@Flolayne]

Omg, you are insanely fun! You have a remarkable presence in front of the camera. I am so thankful I stumbled across you tutorial. Definitely going to try your method. Thank you for teaching me something new.....with smiles and laughs.

[@bexwheeler]

This is the best how to video on KZbin!! I wish more how to videos had humor in them.. it would make them easier/ more fun to watch! Thanks for the knowledge and Laughs!! =0)

[@liverbird46]

Initially I thought the video was a bit wordy but you're amusing so I enjoyed it ;-) (some people drone on and it can be boring). Love the pompoms from Peru.

[@Braedenfish]

I used the spires on my headboard and it was cool to craft in my pjs!!! Great tutorial!! Benny Hill??? Aaaaand oblate spheroid???? Aaand you peruse in Peru???? You def should have your own show! I'm in a movie!!? Hilarious! Tell "Craftsy" this is the type of tutorial instructors they want to seek out. Thank you!

[@jltavare]

Hi Jenine, great tutorial! Someone asked about nailing in other than a table. I make tassels and took a 2x4 and screwed "L" brackets at different distances and wind the yarn around the brackets (according to the size tassel I want), the exact same concept as your nails. Going to use my board to make pom poms as you showed winding from end bracket to end bracket. How do I know if I've got enough yard for a full looking pom pom? I'd like to make some about 4 1/2" diameter. Thanks!

[@1rocknmoroccan]

You had a feeling you were getting a little nerdy but it so works for you! I really enjoyed this video

[@suer6103]

i loved your video! the best how-to I've ever "endured". Quotation marks b'c most of them, yes, I've endured them, yours, I enjoyed! I love your sense of humor (a lot like my own) & the Benny Hill music was right on! Like Alicia said, you'd make a cool friend to hang & make things with. Since I am going to try & make a pom pom rug, this way of making many at one time is fabulous. I don't need to waste what precious time I have making them one.....by.....one! Thanks ever so much! & good luck in your crafting & selling!

[@susantoindra8867]

YOU ARE THE SMARTEST POM POM MAKER I'VE EVER SEEN!!! GREAT

[@mommaprepper]

THANK YOU!!! You have just made my life a little easier. :) I am wanting to make a pom pom rug for my daughter for her birthday... :) This is so much better then doing it one at a time.

[@treatyourhead]

Aussie craft geek says yay! I loved the technique and specially your sense of humour, cheers!

[@kellywhowareshats]

You can also wind the wool around the legs of a chair or table instead of nails

[@khushibohra7037]

kelly sorcha handy lyjh

[@sukitten1]

Kelly an excellent suggestion, thanks x

[@jasminebutler2450]

kelly sorcha handy OMG BLESS U IM SO THANKFUL I READ THIS BEFORE HAMMERING MY WALL 😂

[@karen_b6023]

Fantastic! I want to make a Pom Pom rope for Christmas and thought it would take forever. NOT! Love your necklace, too.

[@3m0cupcake]

Such an energetic and refreshing tutorial! I love the necklace you're wearing! Did you make it?

[@berniehw]

Loved this video, not only learned an easier way to make my pompoms, but made my day brighter. Love your sense of humour. Thank you for your time, I've subscribed so I can see what else you get up to lol.

[@TheChristy51274]

Awesome video! Very easy to follow your directions. Your sense of humor is an added plus! :)

[@bridginaodonovan6721]

Brilliant idea, i'm gonna get my grandchildren to help make loads of pom poms & then make a nice colourful rug with them, thanks for a really interesting tutorial.

[@katheeflamini6029]

BRILLIANT!! you are amazing! I love thinkers. I just started making pom poms and have adjusted one way to make a single pom pom so it was more efficient. I can't wait to try this and make multiple poms!!!! Thank you Thank you!! Now that necklace your wearing is beautiful, i gotta find how you did that!

[@TruthSeekingElf]

This is just brilliant! I have always loved pom poms but hated doing one at a time. I love what it says on your t-shirt, couldn't agree more, I love your necklace too, are they also made with pompoms? I'm on a small laptop so can't tell. Thank you so much for sharing, this has truly inspired me and now I know what to do with that ton of spare wool I have lying around the house!!

[@jjfreling20]

your vocabulary is so great! So precise. GREAT tutorial.

[@elainerussell8256]

Well done. Great Sence of Humour, Most enjoyable veiwing. Will try this it's much better making several Pom Poms than single ones. Keep up the good work.

[@Alastariana]

Hooray for scientific pompoms!!!!! This idea is awesome. I just made a wreath for my door consisting of like a billion pompoms made one at a time and it took me forever. I might try this technique when I am starting to make my pompom carpet :D Aly

[@ajtiburi2667]

Jenni W I... don't have anything to sacrifice :'(

[@vinetm3935]

Coffee JT just turn a chair upside down on a table and use the legs.

[@suer6103]

+Vinet M absolutely brilliant idea!!!

[@vinetm3935]

Sue Robinson thanks! I did it, it works!

[@suer6103]

Vinet M​ me too!! 😊

[@uruneek65]

Hey Jenine...luv your tutorial and thanks! BTW what do you have on your neck, they look like Lampwork beads but seems they would be really heavy for that many so I'm curious! Looks very Kool! hugs

[@kimweaver1899]

This is a brilliant idea. Great video too. Your voice and personality are fabulous

[@nourishingmomma]

loved it! Thank you. What do you sell?

[@ajtiburi2667]

"It could be a board, or the trick is... I'll show you guys later." IT IS THE BODIES OF YOUR ENEMIES!

[@ajtiburi2667]

I WANT YARN THAT MANY!!!! I want one so bad *sobs* -Needs a rehab

[@bcgrote]

I KNEW there was a way to do this! My random thoughts: Use monofilament line? Strong AND clear.... Cubic pompoms? Square, man! And I like your shirt! Fun and informative, my favorite kind of video! Thanks!

[@tatianacalixto133]

you're so much fun. I learned the first time I watched it, but I keep watching your video, just for fun! Thank you.

[@LaynieFingers]

You are so adorably, endearingly dorky! I say this as someone who long ago learned to accept my dorky side and feed it. In return, it helps me make funky art pieces and never take myself too seriously. You rock!

[@sandrawarner2852]

Laynie Fingers you need to show more of what your doing like where you are cutting and tying instead of yourself

[@justpinkcandy]

[@1sprinkledloveaffair]

Oh my gosh!!! I totally loved your video. I was looking for a way to make pom poms for the end of a crocheted scarf and this was perfect. Multiple at one time! But your like ability prompted me to watch your other videos. Thanks for your good humor and feel good vibes. I really liked the pom poms you showed at the end of your video from Peru. Sweets ^_~

[@sydneybeth]

Really really liked. The humor keeps me interested. I am playing on redecorating my granddaughter bedroom. I have planned to hang large pom poms from their ceiling (different sizes). Any suggestions on making big, maybe 12" diameter. Almost the size of a record. Thank You!.

[@bettinaf7016]

Love your necklace! Did you make that, too?

[@tamsie8it]

Amazing entertaining video, thank you, so refreshing after the other, rather dry albeit informative ones i've watched on crafting. Please have your own show...

[@purestarkids]

Yarn glitter 😂 such a great and entertaining tutorial. Thanks for the great tip, will try this out for sure ☺️👍

[@RedMaggs]

I was perusing through videos of how to make Dread Falls when I got side tracked and found a pom pom making video - it was OK but then I found yours - brilliant thank you so much I can now make multiple pom poms much quicker :D xx

[@damarissaubot9969]

I learned and enjoyed your tutorial a lot!! You are a great teacher!!! Thank You Jenine!!!!

Hi Jenine have you ever tried to make a triangle pom pom, I was going to try and make one

[@nataliebrooks77]

So quirky and adorbs! She made my night!

[@Queenofpinkdiamonds]

What type of yarn do you use?

[@joanliley9957]

Great Video! I'll have to watch your necklace tutorial in a minute but quick question: is there any way to do this without hammering nails into a surface? My daughter is making pom poms for a Pierrot costume (a sad clown) for Halloween and it's taking ages but, I don't want nails in my kitchen table or to go out and but a plank of wood just for this :/ any ideas?

[@needleworker]

This improved my day very enjoyable, entertaing and interesting.......love the Benny Hill reference being a brit

[@19madeline427]

Nice vid! You are going to save me a LOT of time with this method! Because this making them one at a time is horrible! I made two and stopped to find a better idea and this is it!! Many thanks for posting.

I don't know what I love more about this comment. That you dropped a Batman quote or that you're a guy that watched this tutorial. I'm gonna go with both. Both of these things are cool.
