If you’re looking for a fun and easy DIY project, this yarn heart pompom keychain is the perfect craft to make. Whether you’re creating it as a gift for someone special or for yourself, this step-by-step guide will show you how to create a charming, handmade accessory. Let’s dive in!
Materials Needed:
- Pencil
- Cardboard
- Scissors
- Pink yarn
- Keychain ring and chain
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Draw the Heart Shape: Start by drawing a heart on a piece of cardboard using your pencil. Then, draw a smaller heart inside the first one. Repeat this process on another piece of cardboard.
- Cut Out the Hearts: Use scissors to carefully cut out the center of both hearts, leaving two hollow heart shapes. Then, cut a small entrance at the bottom of each heart, no more than 1cm wide.
- Wrap the Yarn: Next, take the end of the pink yarn and start wrapping it from one tip of the heart to the other. Keep wrapping until it’s nice and fluffy.
- Trim the Excess Yarn: Once you’ve wrapped enough yarn, use scissors to carefully trim around the entire pompom, securing it with your fingers so it doesn’t unravel.
- Tie the Pompom Together: Now, carefully pass a long piece of yarn between the two cardboard hearts, right through the center of the yarn you’ve cut earlier. Tie it tightly, just like shown in the video, and do not cut the yarn.
- Remove the Pompom from the Cardboard: Gently remove the pompom from the cardboard, and then shape it with your fingers. Afterward, trim any excess yarn to even out the shape.
- Attach the Keychain Ring: Finally, take the long piece of yarn that you tied the pompom with and pass it through one of the holes in the keychain ring. Cut off any excess yarn.
And that’s it! You now have a cute and fluffy heart pompom keychain, ready to brighten up your bag or give as a thoughtful gift. Enjoy your new handmade accessory!
