Are you looking for an easy and creative way to add cute accents to your craft projects? Pompoms are the perfect addition! These fluffy balls can be used in a variety of ways - whether as a small fluffy tail for your crocheted animals or as a colourful accent on a hat. The good news is that you can easily make mini pompoms yourself, even without special tools. All you need is an ordinary fork. In this step-by-step instruction, we'll show you how to use this technique to make magically cute pompoms in no time at all. Let's get creative together!

Instructions for pompoms from the fork:

Step 1:

Take a fork with four prongs. Knot the wool in the centre.

Step 2:

Now wrap the wool around the entire fork to form a fat bundle.

Step 3:

After you have wrapped the wool, shorten the thread and cut a thread from the ball. Tie a tight knot in the centre of the bundle. As tightly as you can. Now the bundle can be pushed off the fork.

Step 4:

Cut all the loops of the bundle and trim the woollen threads to one length. This makes the pompoms round like a ball and nice and fluffy.

You may need to practise a bit, but after that it really is child's play. I had already thought about making a snowball chain out of pompoms.
