Pom Pom Garland DIY - Crafty Magic!

I often find myself making the odd impulse purchase on Ebay, some I regret and some I adore... last week marked the arrival of 600 10mm multicoloured felt pom poms, which I definitely adore and were a total bargain at about $30 including postage.

So I've been garland making like crazy and wanted to share my super easy, super quick DIY Pom Pom Garland tutorial with you all... these babies add a lot of fun and interest to any space and can be hung over your mantle or staircase or from vintage deer antlers or perhaps over the your bed as I've done...

Here's the how to

Materials

1.Needle

2.String - try to use a thicker durable string I used Scanfil topstitch in black

3. Pom Poms for a 1 metre long garland I used about 55 10mm pom poms spaced about an inch apart

Directions (refer to images)

Cut your string to your desired length and thread your first pom pom (see image 1) thread it all the way to the end of the length of string (image 2) and secure it in place as seen in the image marked 3.

Then simply thread your other pom poms in alternating colours (image 4) and space them out as close or as far as you like as seen below.

 once you have finished spacing out your pom poms secure the last pom pom in place using the method shown in image 3 above and you are done!.

These garlands would also look fantastic draped around the Christmas tree

 

FYI - The hot pink ampersand cushion is a new purchase hand made by Shannon Lamden of Aunty Cookie and screen printed in Northcote, Melbourne - I love her range, you can get one here or check her blog here... you will love everything you see, I have no doubt!.
