Pom Pom Making Workshop

Come hang out, get crafty, and make something delightfully fluffy at our Pom Pom Making Workshop, a fun and beginner-friendly creative experience where you’ll learn how to turn colorful yarn into adorable pom poms—and transform them into something you can actually use!

We’re so excited to be partnering with Local Color for another creative community event at Local Color Big Arts. This is a donation-based workshop, so you can come create, connect, and play while supporting both Our Hub and Local Color and the work we’re doing to bring more accessible art experiences to our community.

🧶 What You’ll Make

You’ll learn the basics of making your own pom poms using a reusable pom-pom maker, then turn your creations into a cute accessory of your choice.

Depending on your style, you can make:

  • Pom-pom earrings

  • 🔑 A pom-pom keychain

  • 👜 A pom-pom bag charm

  • 🌈 Or mix and match to create something uniquely yours!

Play around with different yarn colors, sizes, textures, and combinations to create pom poms that are bright and bold, soft and subtle, silly and colorful—or totally coordinated.

🎁 What You’ll Get

Everyone will receive their own pom-pom maker to take home, so you can keep making long after the workshop is over!

Your workshop also includes access to:

  • 🧶 A variety of colorful yarn

  • ✂️ Crafting tools and supplies

  • 📖 Step-by-step instructions

  • 🔑 Hardware for keychains and bag charms

  • ✨ Earring fixtures

  • 🎀 Additional creative findings and embellishments

  • 💜 Everything you need to get started making your own fluffy creations

Once you learn the technique, you can use your pom-pom maker again and again to make gifts, decorations, accessories, garlands, ornaments, and whatever else your crafty brain comes up with.

💜 A Creative Night With Local Color

We’re thrilled to be partnering with Local Color for this special evening at Big Arts. Local Color creates opportunities for artists, creatives, and communities to come together, and we love being able to make art and build community alongside them.

This is a donation-based event, with donations supporting both Our Hub and Local Color. If you’re able, we encourage you to contribute what feels comfortable to you. Your support helps us continue offering creative experiences that are accessible, welcoming, and centered around connection.

🌟 No Experience Necessary

Never made a pom pom before? Perfect!

We’ll walk you through the process step by step, from wrapping the yarn to shaping and trimming your pom pom. You don’t need to be “good at crafts” or have any previous experience. Just show up ready to experiment and make something cute.

And honestly, there’s something pretty satisfying about turning a pile of yarn into a perfectly fluffy little ball. 🥹

Come make one. Or make five. Try a ridiculous color combination. Make something for yourself or create a little gift for someone else.
