Pompom Easter eggs—instructions:

filling the pompom maker with yarn
Fill the pompom maker, switching yarn colors layer by layer.

1. Open the arms on one side of the pompom maker, keeping both the arms of that side together.

2. Wrap yarn around the arms for a total of 80 times. Cut the yarn.

3. Take another color and wrap it 40 times over the first layer. Cut the yarn.

4. Change color again and wrap 80 times. Cut the yarn.

5. For the final color, wrap 30 times. Close the maker, cut the yarn, and do the same on the other side.

6. Once both sides are done, cut the pompom open through the center.

Securing the pompom with the tightening yarn
Tie a tightening yarn in the center of the pompom.

7. Tie the pompom together in the center with a few tight knots. You can use a strand of yarn or thin ribbon. If you tie the ends together, you’ll have a beautiful loop to hang the egg.

8. Trim your pompom into an egg shape. It’s best to trim little by little from all sides to get an even result. Be careful not to cut the hanging loop.
