So, I purchased this “fluff ball maker” off Ebay a few weeks ago. I knew that it was shipping from China, but I didn’t think the directions would actually be written in Chinese!
Eager to make some cute fluff balls, I attempted to follow the pictorial directions. Just like IKEA furniture! Ainsley and I set out all the materials and got to work.
Here is what the results were a few minutes later.
Not very fluffy and certainly not a ball.
I don’t know where I went wrong with the directions, but Ainsley thought it was hysterical and she made good use of the yarn:
Well, I am going to go Google the directions now. Hopefully, I can find some in English.

I think I can help! I made something similar using old t-shirts a few months ago. I used this tutorial. I hope something in here helps clear up your directions.

Perfect Rebecca! Thank you so much! Hopefully, my next attempt actually creates a ball 🙂
🙂 You’re welcome! Can’t wait to see what you do with the puffs.
Well, at least your daughter had fun with your ‘fail’! It’s always fun to craft with our little ones, they don’t care if we don’t get it ‘just right’.
