So, you’ve made some pom poms for your project and want to make use of it, to decorate it etc, but…. the size is too big or you want it in another shape other than round. You need to trim it, of course.
Trimming needs skill and it is just like a hair dresser’s job. Lack of skill may cause over trimming and unevenness, the more you trim it and try to get to the right shape you want, the pom pom become smaller and smaller. The worst part is, after hours spent in trimming, you still can’t get the shape you want and the original pom pom is snipped beyond recognition, you get frustrated and give-up. What a waste!!! I have gone through this (I am not a hair dresser) so I know what you’re going to face with “the trim”. I found a good tip after some researches. The following tutorial will show you how to trim your pom pom to your desired shape and size easy and fast 🙂 to me, it never failed!!!! I made this trimmed pom pom into pom pom hair barrettes.
Thks for sharing! I started crocheting Timmy the baby sheep, & thought to myself, that it would be far quicker to make it with pom poms, as I had a spare white fluffy pom pom, left over from my other animal crafts for my grand children. Did a web search & hooray, found your tutorial. Did you use glue for the feet? It looks like it in the photos! Congratulations, you did an excellent job, as it looks just like cute Timmy!
All parts are sewn in for Timmy Amigurumi 🙂 PomPom Timmy is a great idea 🙂
You are an amazingly talented person, and I just wish that I could have an ounce of your crafting ability. Thanks so much for sharing your creations with us.
Thanks. I think it is “practice made perfect” and my friend used to called me “perfectionist” hee hee hee
