Now that your pom-pom has been liberated from the cardboard, all you have to do is fluff it up a bit to get it to look like a pom-pom.

Once you've done that, you can attach it to a knitted project such as a hat, scarf, purse, cat toy or anything else you like.

The easiest way to attach a pom-pom to a knitted object is to use one of the long tails of the length of yarn used to tie the pom-pom together. Thread this yarn onto a tapestry needle and weave in and out through the knitted item to ensure that the pom-pom is secured firmly.
