Helpful Tips:
Do I have to use my hand to make pom pom Easter eggs?
We like to use our hand to make pom poms since it doesn’t require another tool. But if you want to keep your hands free there are definitely other ways to make a pom pom. You can buy a special pom pom maker, or cut a rectangle out of cardboard to help you. Check out our step by step guide on how to make a pom pom for full instructions.
What type of yarn is best for pom pom Easter eggs?
We made our pom pom Easter eggs with worsted weight (medium, size 4) acrylic yarn. It’s the most common yarn size and can be used to make almost anything. You can also make your pom poms with bulky or super bulky yarn. The thicker the yarn, the less times you’ll need to wrap it for the same size pom pom. Similarly, if you use a thinner yarn be sure to wrap it more times.
What scissors are best for making an Easter pom pom?
We like to use fabric scissors when making pom poms. Fabric scissors, also known as sewing shears, have long blades that are very sharp. If you don’t have fabric scissors, regular scissors will do, but you might have a harder time cutting through the loops of yarn and trimming the ends nicely.
How do I make a speckled Easter egg pom pom?
You can see a speckled/polka dot Easter egg in some of our photos. To make this style of Easter egg wrap 3 strands of yarn around your hand at one time. Grab 2 strands of one colour (the main colour) and one strand of another (the dot colour). Hold them together and wrap them around your hand 70 times. For more colour techniques, check out our pom pom ice cream cones post.
Use your Easter egg pom poms as part of an egg hunt, hang them on your Easter tree, or string them onto a garland. You can make these super cute pom pom Easter eggs with scrap yarn in spring pastel shades, or in bright vibrant colours — whatever you’d like!
