Messy Pom Pom

Messy Pom Pom
"Make a Messy Pom Pom using your hands! I have my own technique to make a pom-pom, that leaves the “tails” loose and flowy. There is no need for cardboard or any special tools! This technique is quick and easy too, I actually find it easier than using a pom pom maker. This technique will not yield a tight "ball" shaped pom pom, but it still looks great on many projects, like hats! You can also brush the strands to fluff it up."
