These adorable [DIY pom poms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniverse-make-it-mini-from-scratch) from Mr. Printables are a step up from just the average solid-colored pom pom. Surprisingly, the craft is able to pack in a ton of detail that makes the fruits look pretty accurate, including seeds, variations in color and the different textures of the fruits. The amazing pom pom craft gets most of its magic in the way that the pom poms are wrapped.

On its blog, Mr. Printables provides a step by step guide in pictures on how to make soft yarn versions of fruits like kiwi, strawberries, watermelons, pineapples and oranges.

This is a great craft for kids, since the wrapping technique is fairly simple and it mostly just requires [alternation in yarn color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-crystal-floral-kits) and placement.
