    30 second DIY pom poms

    Do you own a fork? Then you can make DIY pom poms with yarn.

    Here’s an easy-to-master gift wrap technique you’ll use for holidays around the year: DIY yarn pom poms. No knitting skills required. Just grab a fork, scissors + yarn to make eye-catching gifts that are fluffy on the outside (just like those red flannel pjs on the inside). These little fuzzies take just 30 seconds or less to make.

    The bigger the fork, the bigger the pom pom

    Since looping yarn around fork spokes won’t ruin your silverware, dig up serving forks you save for special holiday meals. Grab a few forks of various sizes to create an assortment of pom poms.

    I made this video to show you what it looks like to use the fork…

    • yarn (2′ long segment per pom pom ball)
    • scissors
    • fork

    1. Measure your gift + set aside a piece of yarn long enough to tie around it (later).

    2. Take about 2′ of yarn and loop it snugly around the fork, 30-40 times (form a 1” wide strip).

    3. With the piece of yarn you measured for your gift, tie a knot around the center of the 1″ strip of fork yarn.

    4. Slide the fork yarn off, and tie another knot with the gift wrap yarn piece. (just to be sure!)

    5. Without cutting the long piece of gift wrap yarn, cut the fork yarn loops in half until the fluffy ends are released. (while the knot holds the yarn together in the middle)

      Those are so darn cute! If I have extra wrapping time, I’m going to try to tackle the project myself. If not, there’s always next year!

      My daughter always wants to be in my yarn stash, but isn’t quite past finger knitting yet, so this little craft would be perfect for her!

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
