Rainbow Felt Ball Pom Garland, Nursery and Home decor By Stone and Co

Product Information

As you can see, the size didn’t change much. So I also I didn’t end up with too much fuzz left over. It was only a small little pile even after trimming all six pom poms. Lastly, loops need to be tied onto each end of the banner so it can hang. If you look at my picture above I actually tied one of the ends before I started stringing the pom poms. But if you wait to tie both at the end it makes no difference. If you look at pictures from my other tutorials on how to make pom poms, you can really see the difference in the amount of trimmings. But thankfully that just meant less of a mess to clean. Having a lint roller handy makes clean up a lot easier if you have one. Those tiny little fuzzies have a way of getting everywhere. Step 3: String Pom Poms onto Cotton Yarn When stringing on the pom poms the goal is to go through the very center between the loop that has been tied around everything. Sometimes you may need to poke around a bit to find the right spot.

To finish them up, give them all a little trim to even out the ends. Here’s what they all looked like when they were finished: In the end, the banner measures about 53” from end to end (48” if you’re only measuring the pom poms). That’s a bit shorter than the 6 ft banners that I usually make, but would still make a good decoration in plenty of different places. And of course, if you need it to be longer, you can always add on more pom poms to make it whatever size you like. What You Will Need to Make a Rainbow Pom Pom Garland Unlike the felt banner, I wanted the entire length to be filled with pom poms. So I decided to make smaller white poms to fill in the gaps in between each of the bigger ones. I think it makes it look a bit more “finished” than simply having the string showing through. Keep going until all the pom poms have been threaded onto the cotton yarn. Make sure they are all right next to each other, but don’t squish them too much. They only need to just be touching one another. Step 4: Tie Loops Make this adorable rainbow pom pom garland to add a row of fuzzy pom poms to any room. It’s a fun and easy project that is perfect for any level of crafter.

All that’s left to do now is find the perfect spot to hang your new rainbow pom pom garland (or whatever color scheme you decided to go with). You can hang it just as you would any other garland. Just like the previous step, all that’s left is a trim. I wanted the smaller pom poms to be a bit denser, so I trimmed them down a lot further. Don’t be afraid to really get in there and give it a good haircut. Just keep going until it’s nice and dense and round. Here’s a before and after shot: The colors can be changed around to match any holiday or color scheme of a room. And the size and number of pom poms can be adjusted to suit your needs perfectly.

I actually had this project finished toward the end of last year. But before I could finish things up I had to set it aside to focus on my holiday projects. Then afterward I took a bit of a hiatus from my blog to focus on my personal life. So it’s a bit delayed, but I’m finally happy to have this one finished. Before tying up the other end, make sure the pom poms are all spaced the way you want them. If they are too tight or too loose you likely won’t be able to fix it later without stringing the pom poms onto a new piece of yarn. Then thread one end of the cotton yarn through the yarn needle. If you’re having trouble, you can use an embroidery needle threader like I have listed in the materials. As the name suggests, it’s meant for embroidery, but the larger end works wonderfully for yarn as well. I also really suggest using small, pointed tip scissors with a spring for this project. Trust me that they will save your life when it comes to making pom poms. Especially on a project like this where you are making a ton of them. And with that, let’s get started. My instructions here are going to be fairly brief. However, if you need more info and tips on how to use these types of pom pom makers I have a much more detailed tutorial available.

Not long after I made my pastel rainbow felt banner I was already itching to make another one. This time, though, I decided to make one out of pom poms. Make a small loop at one end of the yarn and tie it into a tight knot. Then using your scissors, snip off any excess as close to the knot as possible. Next, start stringing the poms one by one. For mine I started with three of the smaller white pom poms. then I added the first large pom pom. Then I alternated between three small white pom poms and one large pastel pom.
