    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)

      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!

    My specialty is cooking restaurant style food at home. I love to cook for family, fun, creativity & self care.

    Where to start? Get my secrets to making pizza at home and feel like a true home chef with my sous vide recipes.

    jenna passaro prepping sous vide steak

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook. And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job 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.
