Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! I’m reviewing the We R Memory Keepers Pom Pom Makers. Because . . . I wanted to make pom poms.
In the past, I used a rectangular piece of cardboard, wrapped several layers of yarn around it, threaded a loose piece of yard through it, tied it, cut the loops, and fluffed it. The cardboard was free and it’s an easy way to make pom poms – but they weren’t always a uniform size or fluffiness.
Is this tool worth the $7.99 (incredibly cheap, especially if you use a 40% off coupon)?
Is it easier to use than a piece of cardboard?
What’s the uniformity of the pom poms?
Let’s see . . .
You get three makers for small, medium, and large pom poms.
First, you open the halves – left pic. Hold the yarn and start wrapping around both arms on one half – right pic.
Wrap the yarn until there are several layers – the more yarn you wrap, the thicker the pom pom.
Close the first half and clip the yarn – left pic. Repeat on the other half – right pic.
Cut the yarn in between the arms of the Pom Pom Maker (see my Paper Panduh scissors????).
Wrap a piece of yarn around the arms of the Maker – left pic – and tie it – right pic.
Open the arms – left pic is a top view – right pic is a side view.
Pull the Maker apart and take the pom pom out – left pic. Trim any long pieces and fluff the pom pom – right pic.
Above are the three different sizes – small at 1 1/2”, medium at 2”, and large at 3”.
Price – I paid $4.80 because I used a 40% off coupon – definitely reasonable!
Ease of Use – one of those tools where the more you use it, the easier it is – pretty much just as easy as a piece of cardboard, though.
Uniformity – the pom poms were all the same size – I just had to trim off some longer renegade pieces – no biggie.
Consensus: The price was right, it was easy to use, and I made 16 small pom poms that were all the same size.
