On the 7th Day of Making we’re showing you how to make a Pom Pom Garland! This is a quick and easy project for all skill levels. Tackle it alone or make light work by having your friends and/or family get involved. It’s easy for young‘ns and for those that aren’t all that confident in their crafting abilities plus the end result means your home will be looking fun and festive in no time!
Time to make: 1 hour (quicker with a few friends)
THE TOOL KIT
Approx. 200g of aran weight yarn. We have used 2 balls of Wool Me Tender in Ivory White but feel free to mix and match with colours that tickle your fancy.
2 meters (or desired length) of strong twine or lightweight cotton yarn. We have used Shiny Happy Cotton in Ivory White.
A sewing needle large enough to thread your cotton or twine.
1 x small pom pom maker or large sheet of cardboard/heavy paper. We have used 1 x 65mm/2.5 inch pom pom maker.
A pair of small, sharp scissors.
THE INSTRUCTIONS
Finished length: 2 meters – easily adjustable to be longer or shorter
STEP 1: Start by making your pom poms. You can use a pom pom maker for this (which definitely speeds up the process) BUT it’s just as easy to use some scrap cardboard:
STEP 2:
Cut two cardboard circles, 7.5cm/3” in diameter, with a 2.5cm/1” hole in the centre.






STEP 8:
Continue in this way, alternating large and small poms until you have attached all of your poms.
THAT’S IT! Pretty easy, right? Hang your garland in your favourite spot – a mantle piece is always a good one.
