Making a Pom Pom with Bakers Twine

Have a go at this fun and easy to do Pom Pom gift wrapping.  All you need is your wrapped gift and a roll of Bakers Twine.

I love the fresh texture of Bakers Twine and I am often asked how I use it in my gift wrapping projects.

This easy step by step idea shows you how to wrap a present, and finish it with an eye catching Pom Pom.

Wind somer Bakers Twine around the gift several times, ensuring the two ends overlap before cutting.

Tie the two ends together in the centre of the gift.  You will then need to get a clean fork ready for the next part.

With your role of Baker’s twine wrap it around your fork several times (I did 10)
Tie the two ends around the centre so the twine resembles a bow tie.

Cut both sides and tease the twine so it resembles a pom-pom. The two ends can then be cut down to the same length as the pom pom strands.  Tie your pom pom in to the centre of the gift with the loose ends.

This wrapping is great for kids and suitable for men too.  You could also make several and have a strip of them along your gift.

This project  can also be done with garden string or narrow ribbon, and loose pom poms can also be glued on to gift tags…Have fun!
