Pom Poms FAQs

How to glue pom poms

There are a range of different glues you can use to adhere pom poms either to themselves or to your craft creations. If you're working with kids, make sure you choose a glue that's easy for small hands to work, and avoid the use of hot glue guns if you have young children present. To glue pom poms to paper or canvas, PVA glue is a sturdy option. You can also use peel-and-stick glue dots so your creativity is never hindered by drying time. To adhere one pom pom to another, or to glue onto a t-shirt, choose a fabric glue for its wash and wear properties.

How to sew pom poms

Sewing pom poms onto your projects is a simple process and is typically a sturdier and more permanent way of securing them onto fabrics. Choose a suitably sized needle for your chosen textile, and colour match your sewing thread to your pom pom colour. If you're using an assortment of pom pom colours, opt for a neutral or light-coloured sewing thread.

1. Thread your needle and tie a double knot at the end of the sewing thread.
2. Coming from the back of the fabric or garment thread the needle through the fabric and then through the middle of the pom pom.
3. Pull tight so the pom pom is close to the material, and thread the needle back through the pom pom to the back of the fabric.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 once more.
5. With the thread on the back side of the fabric, do a couple of small stitches looping the thread through to create a secure knot.
