![]() ![]() You can make yarn pom poms in a number of different ways. If you have never made a yarn pom pom before, no worries. I loved making these yarn pom poms so much - next up I think I am going to make a yarn pom pom carpet for Livvie’s room. I ended up making more than a dozen of them, having the girls join in and make some of their own. These Yarn Pom Pom Braided Bookmarks with Felt Hearts were so much fun to make. I wanted a substantial “tail” to my pom pom bookmark, so I decided to create a braided yarn tail.Īnd to add in some Valentine whimsy, I adorned them with felt hearts. I bought some Valentine color yarn – skeins of pink, red, and white – and dug around in my felt collection for some matching felt. I had seen the Yarn Ball Bookmarks on Design Mom popping up on Pinterest and it made me think about creating a Valentine version. So, when I was trying to think of some fun Valentine crafts, I decided to revisit my yarn pom pom days. I loved winding the yarn into big balls and then forcing the scissors to cut through the wool until, magically, we had created fluffy pom poms that we could turn into yarn animals or whatever else our imaginations could dream up. It has been more than thirty years since I wound up yarn balls to make a “pom pom”. I find it strange that now, in my 40s, I still remember those yarn pom pom balls and pulling my fingers through the strings as she unpacked her bags for one of her treasured month long visits. Although, I am sure no one else had suitcases like hers. Her suitcases were an unusual pattern, made from a black and white woven wool fabric and unlike any of the suitcases we had in our house.Īnd on each of them, she had yarn pom pom balls tied to the handles, I suppose so she could clearly identify them when traveling. Some of my clearest memories with my Nana are of sitting on the bed “helping” unpack Nana’s suitcases. When we were kids and my Nana arrived for her visits, Susan and I would scramble to try and carry her suitcases to the guest room. ![]()
