Ahoy, I'm Capt Rob Lee and welcome to Pirate Lifestyle TV! Arrr

Be sure and watch this video all the way to the end for some fun news.

Let's jump right in and get to havin' some fun.

These are a pair of high tech wicked sweet gadgets to make yarn pom poms.

Instead of the old fashion pair of cardboard donut circles we all used as kids these plastic gadgets make pom pom making super easy.

You open up the ring and wind the yarn around the wings on either end of the contraption.

I have to tell you why I am doing this. It is a pretty interesting story.

Not too long ago I was cruising around YouTube looking at and watching interesting videos. I came across a video about making pom poms with the cardboard rings.

It jogged my memory of back when I was a kid and we always were doing crafty things.

At our house, or our grandparent's house, or maybe one of the aunt's and uncle's houses.


You know, back in the day, everyone crocheted, or knitted, and darned socks and patched jeans.

What I am doing is winding the yarn, not too tight and not too loose around the wings. I found with this yarn and this gadget 100 windings works pretty good.

So I am winding 20 times with pumpkin.

Then I wind 20 times with black.

Then another 20 times with pumpkin.

And 20 more times with black.

And finally 20 more times with pumpkin.

For a total of 100 yarn windings on each of the two wings.

60 of pumpkin orange and 40 of black.


So anyway, I really enjoyed the video from Teresa the Crochet Geek. She has a great channel here on YouTube with hundreds and hundreds of wick cool videos explaining how to do all kinds of fun projects. So please check out her channel. It's Crochet Geek, and I will put a link in the description under this video.

This is the weird part.

On Thursday, while the Admiral and I are out shopping and running our weekly errands like we do every Thursday.

We are in a Jo Anns Fabrics picking up something we needed and there they were, hanging on the wall, these pom pom making gadgets. It must have been a sign, so I picked out pumpkin orange and black yarn, because Halloween is the next holiday coming up.

After getting all the yarn windings, 100 on each wing you close the contraption back together in a circle.

Cut a length of yarn to tie everything together.

Then take your scissors and carefully cut around the edge, the outside of the circle separating the two halves of the yarn.

Once this is done snuggly tighten the yarn and tie it good and tight. It is a bit of a trick to get it tight enough without breaking the yarn.

Then I tie a knot in the end so you can hang your newly made pom pom.

The beauty of making something fun like pom poms. It is family safe, be careful with the scissors. And you change the yarn color for whatever is the holiday coming up. For Christmas you might use red and green.

And there you go. A fluffy, fun, pirate ball, pom pom.


To thank you for watching me videos, and sharing them with ye friends, we want to give you something. For all the details on what you need to do to get a pair of pirate balls and an autographed book, check out my blog at www Pirate Lifestyle dot com.

Wow that brought back some memories LOL ! I remember the girls in H.S. making and wearing those to show off their school pride. They would add those little jingle bells to them and tie them to there shoes. Usually it was the Cheerleaders that wore them but it must have caught on because I remember there got to be so many of the girls doing it that the school made them take the bells out because they felt it was a distraction LOL. Incidentally the colors you chose were my H.S. colors Arrrrrr !

@WatchToddPattison It is funny what triggers such interesting memories. Make sure to post a comment over on the blog. Maybe you will get a pair of H.S. color pom poms for your Cheerleader. :)
