Instructions

1. Start by drawing a circle half the diameter of the pompom desired on cardstock. This example shows a 3/4" outside circle and a 3/8" inside circle (half the outer diameter). Two 3/4" discs are required to make a 1.5" diameter pompom and are stacked one atop the other. A circle template was used to draw the concentric circles and a scissors and a hole punch were used to cut out the discs.
2. 90" of sport weight cotton is wound around the twin discs.
3. Disc fully wrapped with yarn.
4. Cut the yarns.
5. Separate the two cardstock discs.
6. With a piece of yarn or strong coordinating thread, tie the yarns about the center, between the two cardstock discs.
7. Remove the cardstock disks. With sharp scissors, trim the pompoms.
