Pompon - attribute knitted hats that knitters are often decorated with the product on top. In specialty stores selling a variety of size and color of fur pompoms. However, pompon can be made at home. And for its production will only have 10-15 minutes of free time and a small amount of yarn.
manufacturing phase
For the manufacture of pompons is necessary to prepare in advance a single workpiece. To do this, you need to take a standard heavy paper, and it is better if it is cardboard, and cut out of it "template" in the form of the letter "P". Wherein the upper parallel portion of the letter to be the thickness of at least 10 centimeters. A letter pompom width depends on the size to be manufactured.
Next, while holding the thickened part of the letter in one hand, you need to wind the yarn on its perpendicular slats. Pompom reaching the desired thickness, it is necessary to wind the yarn several circles in the middle, i.e., between slats letter "P", secure node and leave about 30 centimeters of yarn for further attachment to pompom cap.
Visually, the yarn should have two circles with a bridge in the middle.
After that, we introduce a pair of scissors in each of the two laps at a time and cut the yarn at the point where it is in contact with the "P" perpendicular slats letters. The result is a ball of yarn and thread the middle for mounting.
After Pompon must align over the entire surface so that the filaments have the same size. This will give a nice pom-poms and a smooth spherical shape.
The whole process of making decoration for hats takes a little time and save money on the purchase of finished pom-pom. In addition, for the manufacture of yarn you can use the remnants of which are readily available from knitters. This is the case for the useful application of a small amount of yarn surplus remaining from the roll in the process of knitting.
