How to make a Pom Pom Chick (Finger Pom Pom Method):

So we have created a simple Pom Pom Chick video for you again, however have also added the step by step instructions (including some photos from the How to Make Heart Pom Poms post) below. So if you want the watch the video, you can, or you can read and follow the written pom pom making instructions below!

You will need to make TWO of these Pom Poms in yellow wool (though, not being colourist, your pom poms chicks could be ANY colour, right?! In fact, why not make a set of Rainbow Pom Pom Chicks?!)

Start wrapping the yarn around 4 fingers.

Keep wrapping until you have a decent amount like this :

Use another piece of yarn to tie around the middle tightly.

If you want to hang it off something you can leave the piece of yarn long.

Cut all of the loops…

Then you need to start trimming your pom pom. With the Finger Pom Pom making method, you do actually have to trim QUITE A LOT! We like to save these trimmed pieces and use them as stuffing on small sewing projects.
