I love this chalk because it easily iron’s off in case you make a mistake. In order to trace my circle template onto the fur fabric I use my Tailor’s Chalk. I usually use my regular fabric scissors, but even smaller ones will work great since you are just going to be using the very tip. You will also need some sharp scissors for cutting your faux fur fabric. The larger the circle the larger the finished pom. I prefer to make a circle that is at least 6” in diameter to get a nice full sized pom. You can also just create your own from some sheets of cardboard. I love reusing old lids from hummus containers or an overturned yarn bowl since they are perfect circles and large in size. In order to make your faux fur pom you’ll need to cut large circles out of your fur fabric. Make sure that it is sharp enough to pierce through the faux fur and thin enough to fit through the holes in the snap while also having yarn thread through it. You’ll need a large eye tapestry needle for sewing up your pom and securing the snap. You can also find bulk sets of snaps on Amazon for a similar price.

I find the yarn to be a bit better at holding the first part of the knot as it ‘clings’ to the faux fur fabric a bit more than the cotton thread. In order to secure your pom you’ll need to use sturdy yarn ( I love Lion Brand Heartland Yarn) or strong cotton thread. A small bag can make a ton of poms and it holds it’s form really well. I love this poly-fil from Joann’s or Amazon. You’ll need to stuff your poms with a little poly-fil (or scraps of fur or yarn if you want to save even more money) in order for it to keep it’s shape. You can also sign up for a business account to receive a small discount on your order. The nice thing about is you can order sample swatches before you buy so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting before making a large investment. I get a lot of my furs from Joann’s and have found a few on as well. Aim for furs that are 2-4” in height in order to get nice full poms. The pile is how long the fur extends from the backing fabric.
