Yarnology PomPom maker- How To

In this video I make a pom pom using a pom pom maker I got at Hobby Lobby.

[@tracybrown4941]

You are correct. The "directions" that come with the tool raise more questions than they answer. It's been two years since I used mine to make a pompom and I had a major brain freeze on how to use it again. Thanks for the video. Thumbs up.😍

[@nessgomez9195]

Omg! I know this was from forever ago, but I JUST got this set today, and OMG! I’m like, SURELY with pictures AND words, I should understand… I DIDNT! Thank you for this very relatable, step by step video! I’m a small business owner and I’ve been wanting to make Pom Poms, so thank you!!! 🙏🏼

[@mbh0422]

Ditto!!

[@bassmom434]

Same!! Their directions had me having the backwards too. Thank you for your clear video. Also. I just bought my set at hobby lobby only $3.99. (feb2024)

[@tracywilson7801]

Thank you for showing us how to do this!! I would have not figured out how to even stack them if it wasn't for your video!

[@danalutz965]

Absolutely Love this video!!!! I too could not figure out what they were talking about when they say to stack them. Thank you so much for clarifying it for us!!!!

[@TheBlessings2u]

Thank you for your wonderful instruction tutorial. I tried to use the instructions on the back also, bummer. It needs a do-over. I followed your instructions and made a descent Pom Pom the first time. So thank you very much. I appreciate ALL YOUR HELP.💯💯💯

[@beverleyrandall1242]

Fantastic video I was going nuts trying to figure out how to put them together, I got mine here in the Uk exactly the same as you have , from Hobbycraft , so happy I came across your video . Your so funny made my day xx❤️❤️

[@lorieivanoff6778]

Oh my! Thank You for this video. I am still going nuts trying to hold it together and everything. Wow! I appreciate your time for sharing. I think I will be able to do it soon. 😊

[@elainevallance3096]

Finally, someone I can relate to regarding the difficulties of DIY with great humour.

[@annlalonde6809]

Thank you i never attempted my pom pom maker. I used to make them with cardboard when i was in high school.

[@gretchenwhitney9102]

Thank you! I was confused for tying off at the end. Problem solved. Much appreciated!

[@TheMolly1moo]

I got my set from the works in UK but did enjoy your video as no real instructions came with the set but for £3 I didn’t expect much tyfs it really helped

[@crochetaway15]

Hilarious! Love your video. Probably will never buy the pom pom maker, but I will return to watch more of your videos! :)

[@audreybrown1257]

I have the same maker, I was lost and sought out an answer. You saved me a bucket load of frustration. Thank you.

[@Carol-ch9wj]

Thank you very much! I just bought this little tool and would have never been able to use it had I not watched your video.....but just finished a hat and the best pom pom I've ever made.....I used the largest one and only because you pointed out the blue one wasn't all that big........thank you.... I just subscribed!

[@breedecker738]

youre doing a better job at it than i am...i'm thankful for this video

[@lildickenzzsmith5644]

I too use the clover Pom Pom makers but if you want the center to be really tight but some coated thread like beeswax and wrap and knot first on the top then the bottom and then on the top and the thread wax will melt and lock those threads tight. Saw it in passing and it works great

[@SummersTipsandStitches]

That is a good idea to use the beeswax thread. The last I made, for my son, I used the cardboard method, and I thought I tied it very tight. Well he wore it to school one day and it fell apart. I was probably pulling on the pompom when taking the hat on and off! hehe

[@ashleylepeska171]

Thank you for this video! I bought this exact set and was having trouble reading the directions as well! This really helped me!

[@ruthbaran5627]

You are great I chuckled my way through your review! Thank you for making my day!!

[@jackiejohnson6193]

I kinda wish we could have seen the first one too. How much fun I have watching g you. It reminds me of myself. I don't have a pom pom maker yet but you can bet I am going to get some. Will probably get clovers from the suggestions; but I am sure they all work the same way.

[@irenepiede7369]

Thanks for your video , I also tried to follow directions but they were terrible at showing how to hold together. I am glad to watch you. Very helpful.

[@59osita]

Thank you so much for the video I just made my first pompom on the yarnology pompom maker and it turned out perfect . You are my lifesaver .😘

[@ginah3585]

Thank you for your very helpful and fun video. I was hoping when stumped by the poorly written instructions that surely someone else had already figured it out and made a video!

[@denisesutherland4728]

I am so glad I found this great tutorial- my PomPom maker came with no instructions at all and I too thought the two halves would snap together! I am looking forward to making PomPons for a blanket Thanks again from England xx

[@denisedixon4986]

I had the same problem lol. I gave up and put it away. thanks for explaining. I laughed all the way through 👍🏽

[@dianneostroski339]

Thanks so much! I appreciate your effort in making this pom pom!!

[@Tanacarroll]

I’m an RN and worked in Newborn Nursery where we made hats while the babies slept on night shift. We made Pom poms with cardboard. I use to make the prettiest Pom poms that way. Anxious to try this Clover. I think the more you wrap the thicker and prettier the Pom.

[@amymurphy1931]

This is a great video and I taught a lot of kids how to do this!!! Thanks!!!

[@csclose]

I’ve been wrestling with this for about 15 minutes!! Directions are ridiculous! TY for figuring it out!

[@SimplyMindy]

Thank you soo much for this! I was literally sitting here trying to figure it out by the pictures and getting nowhere!! I followed along with you and success!

[@LouleyK]

Thanks for the video - just made my first pompom!!

[@NancyASoto]

❤Thank you so much because my 1st one was an epic fail & I also was holding it wrong, lol😂. 2nd try came out perfect following your video!

[@ReezaT]

I didn't even know what the rhings were...used foogle lens to.get here 😂 Great video and demo. Thank You!

[@barbaraallen2461]

Thank you so much for this instructional video. I couldn't figure out how to "stack" the two parts either. I wish there was a way to hook them together so they wouldn't slide.

[@susan8918]

You're funny!! I loved this video. Great instructions. 🤗

[@danielbeach4430]

I bought the pom pom makers and was trying to stack them as you originally did. I had a hard time too. So glad to see your video. Now I can make the pom pom the right way. Here's a tip: wind two colors of yarn to have an interesting look.

[@SummersTipsandStitches]

oh good! I am glad, I helpped you, but also that I am not the only one who was holding it wrong! I think that would look cool for two colors in the pom pom!

[@trappfamily5420]

@@SummersTipsandStitches I used color changing yarn and that looked cool as well.

[@dianewebb5772]

Oh Lord. Still baffled. Don't get it at all. I will just use cardboard.

[@kittykooky]

I also did not understand the instructions.

[@yolandapottier7244]

Hello Summer, I make my pompoms old school Lol! Cardboard! I don't have a pompom maker but I see a lot of different varieties and brands available and videos and tutorials on youtube, Thanks for the tutorial have a great week!

[@Michelle.05]

Hi Summer, You crack me up! I really wish you would share your "messed up" videos and put them in a bloopers playlist because you're hilarious!! Remember, every video helps you :) You make this look so easy! Thank you so much for making this video.

[@SummersTipsandStitches]

I thought about putting it up anyway...but really it was getting frustrating!

[@Michelle.05]

Summer's Tips and Stitches I probably would have given up on it, but I’m glad you didn’t.

[@jaydenlee5477]

Thanks for the video . So glad everyone is sharing there experiences . I was thinking I'm giving this one to go but now I no not to and get the clover

[@beccaparrish2721]

Thank you for the video. I could not “get” the instructions included with my Pompom maker, especially the Stacking. Subscribed!

[@anna65utube]

Thank you for your video! Very helpful showing me how to use pin pin maker!

[@Mrsunderstood]

I just want to say, you're my hero on this one, oh my goodness, I was like, off to KZbin I go. Thank you!! I made a big beautiful one. I'm going to follow you now! You rock! 🤸‍♀️😁

[@jacquelineduru683]

Thank you for showing how to stack these. I was like you kept turning them trying to figure out the stacking part.

[@nikkiejones4606]

👋I just looked at your video on how to use these! Mine didn't come with instructions! Lol 😆so you did a fabulous lesson! I copied you as you were showing us, I made the big one! It came out perfectly! Thank you for sharing, God bless you abundantly in all things and much love from me too! 🙏♥️🥰😘

[@alisonsnow3762]

Thank you so muchI could not make head or tail of the instructions on the packet but thanks to you success and you make me laugh thank you

[@koschellae]

Omg thank you, I just got the same pompom maker and I could not figure it out!!

[@crystallifecoaching4822]

Time saver! Thank you.

[@terri4137]

Thanks! I was confused by the stacking direction as well as. This is super quick now that I know what to do! :-)

[@patriciasaunders-white7427]

I was so-o-o lucky to have found your tube! I was trying to fit them together like you. My first pom pom was with thick yarn and I didn’t wrap enough yarn. I made a second and used 65 wraps on each side and it came out nice and fluffy. I will try a thinner yarn this third time, Thanks.

[@ldg92553]

The small one is nice to have. I made a hat for a child and put Pom poms all over it. They loved it. It’s also good for baby hats. Put a Pom pom on each side for little ears. Just found your channel. Nice video.

[@angelacrochetsart3304]

I learned the cardboard method as a kid. My grandma always did the cardboard one. ~Angela

[@aha_resellsolultions]

Ha! Love this!! I had the same prob w “stacking”.. the rest was good .. great vid

[@karenhickey3377]

Hi Summer! I didn’t mean any disrespect at all on the Pom Pom makers! I do use the clover brand. I always love it when you show us different brands/products we might not have seen or tried yet. I bought a tulip etimo hook based on your video and I love it. I still use my clover hooks too. Thank you for sharing these Pom Pom makers with us. I always enjoy your videos! You make me smile 😊😊!! Happy Holidays

[@SummersTipsandStitches]

It's nice to try different products. I switch between the tulip and clover, but I like the clover just a bit better. I have only made pom poms by hand before, so this product seemed really nice. No doubt the clover one was better! I was not offended.

[@rayel.2178]

Thanks for sharing! I think also the more yarn you use or wrap the bigger the pompom will be.

[@sharondensmore5052]

Thanks Summer I'm going to get me one of those!!!

[@elviraguerrero5662]

Thanks for your video!

[@tiaradreckett2622]

This is great help thankyou so much

[@Sharoncat2008]

love your help with the Yarnology pom pom maker and without you showing each step I was lost. Another video didn't show how to unlatch them before starting and I tugged and tugged and not until I watched yours did I get it. Thanks.

[@ThriftyTechTalk]

Hi Summer, I have used the Clover brand and the ones you show here look like a stripped down version that would work just as good once you master how to hold them together and wrap. The Yarnology ones you show are great for someone on a budget or just starting out. Great job!

[@terryann1805]

Seriously, you said these are for someone "on a budget" or just starting out?! 😮😠 I personally bought it because I needed a large Pom pom maker and thought I'd try this brand. I'm experienced and can afford a different brand, but wanted one now. Thank you to this wonderful lady for her video. That is the ONLY thing we should be commenting about! Geez!

[@lilylavallee7465]

She made my Pom-Pom successful

[@RainbowRoseConnie]

Hi Summer, WoW, those are very good pompom makers, especially for the price. I found a set of 4 on Amazon (by "AccMart Knitting Loom"), that look exactly like the "clover" pompom makers BUT they were under $5-$6 dollars, and arrived in about 3 days. I have several pompoms from them, and they are very easy and work great!!!!

[@gypsyrose636]

I want to see the 9min blooper now 😂😂😂 I think I need a pompom maker in my life. It dosn't feel like an essential item because I don't make them often but this looked a bit easier than my current method.

[@SummersTipsandStitches]

I like the cheap yarnology (hobby Lobby's generic brand). It's not fancy and gets the job done. It costs about $6. From the comments I guess Clover makes a really nice one you can get on amazon for about $12. I make videos on my phone, so with the number of pictures I have of my kids on there, I can hold a lot of videos...so I had to delete it right away to make a new one!

[@CharmedCreations]

Hi Summer, the Clover PomPom makers are super simple! I also use a little hot glue so they stay put. Grace at gbmaltease has a video on that too.

[@TheMolly1moo]

I hold the 2 pieces with a rubber hair band wind yarn as instructed until full both sides and get better each time I use them lol tyfs is nice to know it’s not just me that had problems

[@wandamuise2636]

I got mine from Ali express and paid about $3.00 and love them. Could I suggest something to you? You really need to wrap your yarn alot more around it. If you wrap more you would get amazing round, solid pompoms. While I was watching, I was talking to you like a crazy woman, I was saying that it's going to fall apart and wrap more. To my surprise it turned out great. See I watch you for a reason, I learn something all the time. I can get great pompoms with a third of the yarn.

[@SummersTipsandStitches]

I wasn't making the pom pom for anything more than a demo. For sure, I need to wrap more. Thanks

[@chrisdouse9749]

Thanks followed you and made a Pom Pom xx

[@kathytincler2446]

9 minutes? Honey, there are vids on youtube for this. A suggestion....use small detail scissors to cut thru...big scissors will just give you fits. Also if you tug on one strand of the finished product they come out easily. No matter how tight I tie them they come apart easily. The yarn one uses to does not stretch so it's best to tie off with crochet thread....does not stretch. I HATE making poms. Thanx for sharing :D

[@michellekleis3869]

I have clover brand and they are simple to use. My 3 year old grandson uses my pompoms as balls.

[@bevadams991]

You are too cute! Thank you for the review!

[@navinh99]

Thank you for this video I almost returned the thing because I got fed up trying the instructions on the card!

[@selly8959]

Thanks for the tut! I got this pompom maker and I was so confused. I feel like hobby lobby branded items have confusing instructions. I had the same issue with their looms.

[@loricole849]

I hope you see this. THANK YOU for the tutorial. I bought this same yarny thing a couple of weeks ago and the directions were not clear. I can make them now. Also, I broke one of the clippie things. Now that I can make them, I really haven't used those clippys.

[@dianaforever7794]

Great video, I hate trying to read the instructions, I would always have to watch someone else making it first, thanks 👍👍

[@kshockey154]

Love your videos 😍. I look for them daily. How about a review on your Tulip hooks since you have had them for awhile? Wish we had a Hobby Lobby. 😢. We have Walmart. Lol.

[@geoffreysmith5384]

Thank you! We figured this out together 😂

[@cynthiablanton9106]

Oh hey it's cute not bad at all I saw those from yarnology but chose the other ones instead because there was 4 sizes.

Thank you I couldn’t figure it out

[@katherineserrano9076]

Glad you figured out how to stack. Ha!

[@ninasmith5818]

Great tool...easy once you get the hang of it. Unfortunately Hobby Lobby doesn't offer the 40% of coupon any longer.

Thank you.

If it wasn’t for your video I would be doing a return for .99 cents just on principle ! My husband and I fought those slippery suckers for nearly an hour. Wish I had videoed that ! Lol

[@lovetobake8589]

Thank you for sharing, I don't know how long it would take me to figure it out, the explanation given are not clear enough! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

[@Fairygroveyt]

With pompoms, can you easily pull the yarn out if them..?

[@carmencasillas24]

I need one of those in my yarn life💝Don't own any kind of pom pom maker.LOL

[@trishaturner2078]

I am a triple knotter as well as I like to make sure it stays in place.

[@tinamadden25]

I also seen if you do attach the pom poms, turn hat wrong side outward so pom pom is on inside of hat to wash...not sure how it will go, but gonna try it.

[@bothepeep]

Very good video. I did see a vid about making pom pom's a while back and they were having trouble getting the yarn tied tight enough so they used those little "zip ties". Have you ever tried that? She just cut them short and also used yarn so she could attach it.

[@debraprickett4705]

I couldn't figure out how to use that kind but the clover pompom makers are easy to use

[@SummersTipsandStitches]

It wasn't horrible to figure out...but like I said it did take me 9 minutes to figure out how to hold it correctly. It's not great but it was easier than using the cardboard (what I had done before) and half the cost of clover (if you use the 40%) coupon. hehe happy crafting

Just made mine for the beanie I crochet.

If you wrap the halfs with yarn enough to fill in the 1/2 moon shape it will be a fuller pom pom.

[@Battyuk66]

I have those Pom Pom makers and they work fine ,if you wrap them properly .. there isn’t enough yarn wrapped around the parts ..xx

[@SummersTipsandStitches]

I agree this was just a demo, and I was getting bored with wrapping!

[@Battyuk66]

I can relate to that .. 😉 xx

Nice, but I would use 2 strands of yarn to tie.

Have you finished your knitted scarf yet? You have not mentioned it for a few videos, so I thought I would ask.

[@SummersTipsandStitches]

Yes. I just stopped kniting it, cast off and I wil use the rest of the yarn for cotton dish clothes. I hope to make a video with my hubby today, and I will wear the finished scarf in that video~

[@tinacsharma6779]

Hi. I got it from online shopping. I got the single piece. Does it need to be a double piece??? Plz help... How will I use it????
