Pom-pom maker
I purchased two pom-pom makers from hobbycraft last year and had great fun making my first woollen pom-pom wreath to hang on my front door for Christmas. I had so many compliments on how lovely it was that I have decided to make some this year as Christmas presents. The pom-pom maker set contains two of differing size. They are so easy to use so I have taught both of my daughters how to use them and they are enjoying making pom-pom decorations for their Christmas tree and garlands to hang around their fire mantle. The staff are always very helpful at my local hobbycraft store and will assist you if your unsure of anything.
Happy pom-pom making!!

Better instructions needed.
As a fairly savvy & experienced craft person I was keen to use these Pom Pom makers for my own projects as well as letting my grandchildren experiment with them. Sadly I found the instruction on the back of the packet not really good enough. I have had to experiment quite a bit before I've managed to produce a reasonable Pom Pom. I'm still not 100% satisfied and had I been less determined I might well have given up & gone back to the old fashioned cardboard ring method. I can see that once mastered this may turn out to be
quicker but I doubt that the end result will be as "full" . Basically a good idea. Only time & practice will tell if it was worth buying. Much better helpful instructions needed.

Simple and quick pom poms
These pom pom makers are great. There's no need to cut lengths of wool and feed them through an ever shrinking hole. The maker flaps open, so my kids can just wrap the wool, straight from the ball. The maker is perfectly shaped to prevent the wool from sliding off. Once the wool is ready, the maker folds together to hold everything in place, while snipping. It's even easy to tie the knot around the pom pom. The maker helps to hold the wool firmly, whilst we make the double knot. It seems to be very sturdy and great quality. I won't be cutting cardboard circles ever again!

The best I have used
After using a cheaper brand of Pom Pom maker I reverted back to cardboard. This brand was recommended to me by a lady on a group I am on. What a revelation, they are so easy to use but the instructions are not. I resorted to YouTube and it was easy. They are well made and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.

Great little tool
Could have used some cardboard and gone the old fashioned way of making pom poms, but this little gadget made my life so much easier.
The design is simple, and clean.
To make the pom pom you wrap it around the little arms, that then lock the wool in place.
To tie up the pom pom after cutting the wool is clean and neat.
Ive used it so far for over 200 pom poms, and its starting to feel less tight when you clamp the two halves back together.
The pin that holds the two halves together is showing signs of becoming looser.
The arms dont seem to hold down as tightly.
Not sure how much life you have with this item, but i will expect to have to replace by the time i have made 500 pom poms.
Not expensive, cleaner than cardboard circles.

Clever Pom Pom maker
It really does make good pom poms and actually good value for money. I bought this to make small pom poms for the top of "Innocent" bobble hats. The traditional method was not working out but these were just the job. Once we mastered the instructions for how to use them our girls were making pom poms at a great rate and enjoyed it. I think they should know the traditional way too but if you need small ones these are well worth the apparently rather expensive price tag.

Saves a lot of time
Making pom poms is much faster and easier with this product, although it does help to watch one of the tutorials available on websites first.
