Next start with your second colour. Do exactly the same as you did with the first colour. Keep the second colour close to the first colour when wrapping. Cover approx a third of the pompom arm again. Wrap approx 50-75 times depending on how full you want your pompom to be.

Step 3

Once cut it will look like the picture below.

Close the pompom arm and repeat the same process on the second pompom arm. You will use your remaining colours of wool for this part.

Step 5

Next, you need to take any coloured piece of wool. Wrap this piece of wool around the centre part of the pompom maker. Pull it tight so that it holds the pompom together, but not too tight or the wool will snap.
