Easy Pom-Pom Garland Tutorial
Supplies
- yarn
- scissors
- ruler
Instructions
1. Cut an 8″ length of yarn. Set aside.
2.Wrap yarn around your hand until it’s nice and thick. There is no “right” amount. Experiment until you get a thickness you like.
3. Gently remove yarn from your hand and lay on top of 8″ length of yarn from step 1 (as shown).
4. Carefully pull tight and tie a knot.
5. Snip yarn “loops” to make a rather unruly looking pom-pom.
6. Give pom-pom a haircut to even it out. Or leave it all wild and unruly if you feel like it!
7. Repeat steps 1-6 to make six pom-poms.
8. Cut a 60″ length of yarn.
9. Tie pom-poms on about every 10 inches or so.
10. Hang and enjoy!
I chose warm white yarn to go with our living room in winter, but you could choose bright colors for a child’s room, burnt oranges in the fall or pastels in the spring.
Got extra yarn? Why not make some yarn wrapped hearts too?
Another craft for your home that is easy, quick, affordable and can fit into any color scheme!
