What you’ll need:

Step 1 – Make a Pom Pom

Wrap your yarn around the palm of your hand approximately 100 times and cut yarn. Slip the wrapped strands off your hand. Be sure to keep them all together and tidy! Tie a strand of yarn around the center of the wrapped yarn as tightly as possible, securing it with a knot.

Step 2

Cut through the looped ends of yarn on each side of the tie. Make sure you get each one! Trim all the excess yarn off of your spider pom pom until you’re happy with the edges.
