Hi Susan! Yes, we actually just shared a video showing how to the use the pom pom maker on our Instagram – we’ll be adding it to our blog soon, but in the meantime, you can view it here: https://www.instagram.com/tv/COsebAKj28L/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Is there a video on how to make the pom poms on the new pom pom maker that I purchased? Or a set of directions? Nothing came in the package. Thank you so much!
