I have loved pom pom makers since I was a kid.

The blue pom pom makers on the left are ones that I have had since I was knee high to a grasshopper.

The red/blue/yellow ones are  new Lion Brand pom pom makers and the tan/red ones are Susan Bates.

Pom poms are a classic trim or embellishment. But!

They don’t have to just be mild mannered trims.

I often design and make wild and wonderful dolls with them:

Like this one that I made with recycled/reclaimed objects for hands/feet and head.  The head for this doll is a bamboo tea whisk.

Thumbs up for pom pom makers. You can use yarn scraps to make great embellishments and neat dolls and toys.
