How to make a pompom.
The basic structure of a pompom (also known as pompon, from French pompon) is made by winding a length of thread around a card template, removing the looped threads from the card, and then binding them tightly around the middle. The looped ends on both sides are subsequently cut through and then manipulated into the desired shape.
