Regular readers will know that every month I challenge myself to make the Mollie Makes magazine cover gift. I’ve subscribed since it first came out and have had a drawer full of unopened kits – but no more! I’ve been making more time for grown up crafting and I love to make the kits and hopefully try something new. It’s been ages since I made one of the craft kits which came with my magazine. Issue 103 came with a cute tiger keyring and Issue 104 came with some clothes patterns I didn’t want to make.
Pom Pom watermelon craft
Mollie Makes issue 105 included a plastic pom pom maker, 23m of yarn in 4 colours along with instructions to make strawberry or watermelon pom poms, hoop ear-rings or a bag charm. My kids love watermelon so I decided to make the pom pom watermelon craft.
I’ve made pom poms before and the pom pom maker is super simple to use. I wrapped the coloured yarn around the two halves of the pom pom maker.
Then snipped the yarn to make a fluffy watermelon ball.
I tied a length of yarn around the middle so I could hang my finished pom pom.
It was probably the quickest craft I’ve made in a long time. Hopefully next months kit will be a little more time consuming and value.

Oh my gosh. I haven’t made pom-poms in years but this little bit of kit looks so quick and easy. My daughter has a watermelon dress and we found some shoes the right colour, but I would love to make some pom-poms to add onto them to make them super cute! It is a bit of a shame that it wasn’t as involved as it could be, but really cute no less.
Oh my these are ridiculously cute- they’d be mega cute on a keyring or handbag! I haven’t made pom poms for years!
