Clover Pom-Pom Maker Large

This is one of my new favorite tools to use! A must for any yarn crafter! As an avid knitter and crochetter, there comes a time when I would need to make a Pom Pom for one of my project. I used to do it the old fashion way, creating my own cardboard template. But the process was so daunting that I would sometime avoid the project all together. I have seen these Pom Pom makers in the stores before, but never thought about trying them. After all, can they really be all that different from my cardboard templates. Well, I am glad that I did try! It is such a breez to use these Pom Pom makers, that now I am actually looking forward to using them and making more projects with Pom poms. They are so easy to use that even my 7 year old daughter can use them now. The instructions on the package are a little confusing, but there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube that do excellent job of explaining how to use this product. If you like to craft with yarn and make a lot of Pom Poms, I would highly recommend purchasing this product.The large size Pom Pom maker makes a nice large Pom Pom that can be used on a child's or adult's hat. And the smaller size great for baby size hats.

This is the best deal on one of my favorite nerdy crafty tools - these things have got me addicted to making pom poms! They're easy and fun to use once you get the hang of it and were the highlight of my 2012 Christmas DIY throwdown. Seriously, there is something oddly satisfying and addicting about the feeling of unfolding the plastic halves and popping out a fluffy ball of funness.I brought them with me while visiting my family for the holidays and my siblings were equally ecstatic. I have nine younger brothers and sisters and even the 6 y/o was able to make one. (She needed help cutting sometimes, but enjoyed wrapping the yarn.) We ended up ordering more and used them as part of the crafting at the kids' annual Christmas parties. For being made of (mostly) plastic, these have held up exceptionally well - haven't had any break on us!Highly recommend! (Be sure to experiment with different yarns - solid, multicolored, different textures - the really soft, fluffy stuff produced some of our faves! Fun, fun.)

These little devices make it so easy to create consistent pompoms. Yes, I know and have tried the other methods (the plastic bits you have to hold together, the home made card boards that have to be recreated after a few uses. These work great! I do wish there were more ideas included or a web site with details on best weights for yarns to use (learned the hard way -such a waste). And, crafters, how about some ideas on how to attach the PomPoms with different methods? Of course, none of this is relevant to the actual PomPom Maker.... just a suggestion for the manufacturer.I have used these for some time and often have other crafter ask where I got them. If you buy them, I recommend keeping them in the original packaging. Easier to store and know the sizes that way.

I've been making and selling knitted hats at fairs, and recently started taking custom orders from friends and family. Then someone ordered a hat with a pompom! I tried doing them after watching YouTube videos but every pompom turned out horribly. So I bought the Clover Pompom maker after seeing many reviews. People said that the item was very sturdy. It definitely is. The price is great, as well. You get two sizes. What a bargain.The Clover Pom-Pom Maker is very sturdy and works so well. I watched the "Clover Pom-Pom Maker Tutorial" on YouTube and made two in a row that looked great. Other videos don't film from the right angle or say the right things. I can highly recommend this gadget. I am very pleased.

They work as promised. I have wanted to buy them for a very long time but didn’t think that they would work. I am happy that I finally bought them.

I bought this pom pom maker to make pom poms for the hats I crochet. It's easy to use (especially if you look up a youtube tutorial first!) and I really like the tight yet fluffy pom poms I can make with it. I tried other methods, but this one works. It so easy to use, my 8 year old loves to make pom poms too.Tip: To tie your pom pom really well at the end of the process, use a length of dental floss (instead of yarn) and pull as hard as you can then knot it around the center of the yarn. I like to make a second round with the floss, tying it off on the opposite side of the first knot. (This will make sense after you learn how to use the pom pom maker.) I use yarn to finish these off and fasten these to the hats I make, but dental floss doesn't break and can be pulled really tight to hold all that yarn in place at the center of the pom pom. If need be, wrap the dental floss around two wooden spoon handles or dowels, it will enable you to pull it extra tight without hurting your hands as much. :)

I just have to say, this is the handiest gadget I have purchased in a long time! I had always just made my own pom poms with a piece of cardboard, and I thought the pom pom maker was kind of silly and unnecessary. Well, my old pom poms are super sad compared to what this little Clover pom pom maker can produce. There was not even a learning curve. I just followed directions on the package and TA DA, perfect pom poms every time! I thought it was reasonably priced as well.

I have a knitting club in my fifth grade classroom. We make hats for needy children in our county, and I bought these because trying to make pompoms the old fashioned way using cardboard was frustrating for the kids (and we were wasting a lot of yarn). These have been a fantastic solution. Once you get the hang of using them (and I had to have someone show me), they are easy and pretty much foolproof. There's no need to trim the pompoms down once they are finished - they are symmetrical and the perfect shape. Just make sure you tie the final knot really tightly, or the pompom will start shedding yarn. I use the green one far more than the blue one, but that is my personal opinion. I have bought a couple more sets as gifts.
