As you trim, fluff up the pom pom and reposition the guide on different sizes to make sure you have a good sphere shape from all sides. Step 5 Use your matching large pom pom guide to trim the excess yarn, forming a nice round pom pom. You’ll now have a slightly shaggy looking pom pom like this. Step 4 Use sharp scissors to cut all the yarn loops. Make sure that these knots feel secure and very tight – a loose center may cause your pom pom to fall apart later. Bring both ends of the floss to the other side of the wrap (make sure to do this so that you don’t catch any loops of yarn along the sides) and then tie another tight surgeon’s knot, followed by another granny knot to secure. Use a finger to hold the surgeon’s knot tight in place and then tie a half granny knot on top to secure. Pull the embroidery floss knot as tightly as you can. Step 3 Gently slide the yarn wrap off the end of the pom pom maker. Pull the knot together but don’t pull tight yet. Tie a surgeon’s knot but wrap the end through the loop twice. Bring the two end of the embroidery floss together and make sure that the horizontal threads are nice and centered on the yarn wrap. Bring that same end up and over the wrapped yarn and then back through that same U-shaped gap again. Thread one end through the U-shaped gap between the wrapped yarn and the pom pom maker.
