Pom Pom Garland

I love these little pom pom garlands because they are easy and cheap to make, and they are such a fun accessory for a room or party. You can change the color, size, and density to fit your taste/need/holiday. I chose a pink-ish colored yarn and paired it with my Valentine Prints to add some valentine decor to our house. This garland would also be fun for any Valentine's Day Party you have coming up!

Here's what you need:

-Yarn of your choice

-Scissors

-Large Needle (optional)

What to do: 

-Decide how many pom pom balls you want to make. Once you decide your number, cut {X amount} 8-inch pieces that you'll use to tie around each pom pom ball. I made five pom pom balls, so I cut five 8-inch strips. Place your strips off to the side. 

-Wrap the yarn around your fingers at least 20, but as many as 100, times. The density of the pom will depend on the number of times you wrap around your hand. I prefer 50 wraps, but you do you!

-After wrapping, carefully slide the yarn off your fingers. Grab one of your 8-inch strips and use it to tie around the middle of your yarn bundle. Tie it nice and tight!

-Cut all the loops of your pom on each side. 

-Fluff your pom, and trim some of the ends if you'd like (but don't trim the center tie just yet) 

-Cut a piece of yarn to the length you want your garland to be

-To tie the poms on the garland, you can use a needle OR you can use the center tie to secure it to the garland. 

       [If you're using a needle]

       -Thread the garland string through the needle

       -String the poms together using the threaded needle

       [If you're not using a needle]

       -Tie each pom to the garland by tying the center tie in a double knot

-Arrange and space the pom pom balls however you want and hang!
