How to Make a Pompom Character Part 2 (Hallowe'en Edition)


When we experimenting with pompom-making techniques for our workshop at Word on the Street last month, we came across this technique at Bella Dia which does not require a pompom maker. Although we didn't end up using the technique, we did have a happy accident while making it: if you don't cut through all the yarn at the end (see the link and this will make sense) you can make a squid, octopus...or a ghost! Perfect for Hallowe'en.

How to Make a Pom Pom Character Part 1


Thanks to our friend Roger for pointing out that vancouverisawesome did a little feature on Foggy for our Word on the Street appearance.

This has prompted us to finally put up our pom pom instructions.

We'll try to put up some photo instructions, but in the meantime, there is quite a good tutorial here.

We have some Hallowe'en pom pom ideas here (see part 2).
