Whether you hang it above your fireplace, decorate a bedroom, or create festive holiday decor, this pom-pom garland adds charm and texture to any space.
Materials:
Assorted yarn in your favorite colors
Scissors
A pom-pom maker or cardboard circles (for DIY pom-poms)
Twine or string for hanging
Instructions
Make the Pom-Poms:
If using a pom-pom maker, wrap the yarn around the arms of the tool according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If using cardboard circles, wrap the yarn around the template until it’s thick and full.
Tie the wrapped yarn securely in the middle, and cut the loops on each side to form the pom-pom.
Trim the pom-pom for evenness and fluff it up. Repeat until you have enough pom-poms for your garland.
Assemble the Garland:
Cut a length of twine or string for your garland. Thread each pom-pom onto the twine, spacing them out evenly.
Knot the twine around each pom-pom to secure it in place.
Hang and Enjoy:
Hang your garland over a mantel, along a wall, or around a window for a pop of color and texture.
Tips:
Play with Colors: Use a combination of yarn colors for a vibrant look, or stick to a monochromatic palette for a chic, minimalist style.
Experiment with Sizes: Mix different sizes of pom-poms for a playful and dynamic effect.
