# DIY Pom-Pom Village Playsets These DIY Pom Pom Toys Are Cute and Easy to Make By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-12-02 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-pom-pom References: [blog.mrprintables](http://blog.mrprintables.com/pom-pom-town-play-set/) These adorable [DIY pom pom toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-starter-kit) from ‘Mr. Printables’ are incredibly charming toys that are [inexpensive and easy to make](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nailmatic-kids-bath-bomb-maker). It might seem a little perplexing at first to get your mind around just how these [cute pom pom shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crochet-collection) were created, but it’s a deceptively simple craft. Making a pom pom only requires a few materials like something to wrap the yarn around and for the purposes of this DIY, cardboard works perfectly. Instead of creating a pom pom in a single color, the craft uses strategically-placed colors during the wrapping process. After the ball is sizeable enough, the pom poms can be trimmed with scissors to achieve angles for mountain peaks and the slope of a roof. Once you get the basic technique down, there’s no limit to what you can create. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Toys:** Creating DIY toys allows for inexpensive and customizable play options. - **Pom-pom Crafts:** Pom-pom crafts offer a fun and creative way to make unique toys and decorations. - **Colorful Wrapping:** Using strategically-placed colors during the wrapping process adds vibrancy and visual interest to DIY crafts. ### Where This Applies - **Children's Toys:** Toy manufacturers can create DIY toy sets based on pom-pom crafting, allowing children to customize their toys. - **Home Decor:** Home decor retailers can incorporate pom-pom crafts into their inventory, offering unique and handmade decorations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [DIY Squishy Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elmers-squishies.md) - [Buildable Paper Playsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castle-playset.md) - [DIY Embroidery Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-stitched-ornament-kits.md) - [3-D Card Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/6-popup-animal-cards-to-make.md) - [Kid's Felt Building Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knop-knop.md) - [Treat-Themed Crafting Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-sweets.md) - [Tiny Pet Habitat Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniverse-make-it-mini-animals.md) - [DIY Colourful Dough Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dough-project.md) - [DIY Monster Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-pops.md)
