I made a huge navy & pink pom pom last night. Well its too big actually. I made it for the purpose of sewing onto a navy beret (a la one picture posted in the NTC street style thread) but its too big. I will have to find another use for it. I think I will attach it to a handbag......it is very pretty

ok can anyone help me...what should i use as a template fdor the 'ring' of a pom pom to be sewn into a beret (instead of the stalk bit).

any help much appreciated....

i think you want it to be slightly bigger than a tennis ball...
how about a cd...and then trim as necessary?....

 

[helena]

I useda cd the other night but I think its too big - should i just keep trimming away?

maybe...or how about a can then...?
i find that it also depends on your yarn...
i used really thin and really fat yarn and the pom poms came out different sizes even though i used the same template...
so there's a couple of factors...

i have fat yarn. fat fat fat. i'm going to try again tonight with a small cup as a template - I am running out of cardboard though. your NYC pics have been so inspiring my dear!

fat yarn is good...it takes less time to make a pom...

made two more pom poms last night - a dark grey one which I attahed to my beret (and looks lovely) and a mini purple one (dunno what to do with it though). I also attached the two huge ones i made to a large leather vanessa bruno bag I have - it looks really cool. I wish I could take a pic to post.......
