DIY: Pom Pom Garland

Oh hey procrastination, we meet again! Last night, I was up all night, thinking about cool crafts to decorate my new house and So I found myself making a Pom Pom garland the very next day! This craft was slightly inspired by Pinterst, but I predominately came up with it on my own because I was thinking of ways to make different kinds of garlands to hang around. They are good for decorating a space or wall, or even for wrapping around poles or trees. Go nuts!!


YOU'LL NEED

  • wool - your choice of colour
  • fork or just use your hand (depending on how big you want the pom pom to be)
  • scissors 

WHAT TO DO

Basically, to make the pom poms, just take the end of the wool ball and wind it around your hand about 50 times. Tie it off by taking a short piece of wool and tying through the wrapped wool, not through the middle of the hole but kinda bunching it in the middle so it is firmly tied on the outer edge. Then cut the wool so the little pom pom bits start to stick out and tidy up by snipping the excess! Sorry I'm not very good at explaining, but I'm sure there are plenty of youtube tutorials out there that might be able to guide you better haha. after making quite a few of the pom poms, tie them along a long piece of wool. leaving a gapping approximately 7-10 centimetres between each pom pom. You should make around 30 pom poms to get a really nice long garland.

Pom poms make everything fun.
