What you need
Steps
Gather red and yellow yarn, a pair of sharp small scissors and a fork. A plastic pom-pom maker or a square of cardboard works in place of the fork.
Cut a 20 cm strand of yarn and set it aside for tying. Hold the fork with the tines pointing up and the handle resting in your hand.
Wrap yellow yarn around the middle of the tines about 40 times, keeping the loops side by side and fairly even.
Slip the reserved strand under the wrapped yarn, pull it to the centre of the bundle and tie a tight double knot.
Slide the bundle off the fork and cut through the loops at both ends with the scissors.
Fluff the yarn with your fingers and trim the ends into an even round ball. This is the flower centre.
Repeat the same wrapping, tying and trimming with red yarn to make 5 or 6 smaller pom-poms, then tie or glue them around the yellow centre as petals.
Tie a short yarn loop to the back to hang one flower, or thread several finished flowers onto a long string to make a garland.
Tips and common mistakes
Wrap firmly but do not pull so hard that the fork bends, since loose, even wraps give a fluffier pom-pom.
Trim a little at a time and turn the pom-pom as you go, so you do not cut it too short.
Keep the centre knot very tight, or the strands will pull out when you cut the loops.
Small sharp scissors cut cleaner than large ones, and they are easier to control near your fingers.
Questions
Can I make these flowers without a fork?
Yes. Wrap the yarn around a piece of cardboard cut to the width you want, or use a plastic pom-pom maker in the size you need. The tying and trimming steps stay the same.
How many times should I wrap the yarn?
Around 40 to 60 wraps around a standard fork gives a dense, round pom-pom. Use fewer wraps for a lighter, fluffier ball and more for a tight one.
How do I join the pom-poms into a flower?
Tie them together with matching yarn or use a small dot of craft glue, holding each petal for a few seconds until it sets. A hanging loop of yarn at the back lets you tie the flower anywhere.
