What you'll need 

32 strands of 18-25.4 cm (7-10") yarn ( If it's longer it will be easier to loop)
8.5 cm (3.34") long, 1 cm (0.39") wide cardboard
Scissors
Tape

Roll cardboard and tape. Loop your yarn around the cardboard but leave 1 strand to the side. You will use this to tie the top. Once your done and you've fastened the top, trim the excess to create a pom pom.


This pin is great for using up scrap yarn and makes for good winter decoration.
