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

Product Information

This time I’m only using white yarn and a much smaller pom pom maker. This one will give me poms that are about an inch and a half when finished. Like with a lot of my projects, I love to do crafts that are very customizable. And this one was no exception.

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. 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.

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: First, start by making the pom poms. You can start with either size but I’ve chosen to start with the larger pastel poms first. I’m using one of my larger pom pom makers that will give me a finished pom pom of about 3.5” after it’s trimmed. 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.

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. 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: Next, move on to the small pom poms. These are going to be used to fill the gaps in between the larger pom poms. 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. 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

I usually trim my pom poms a bit more, but I made an exception this time. I wanted the poms to be a little bigger and it wasn’t a big deal that they weren’t super dense. Step 2: Make Small Pom Poms Tie a bit of yarn into the middle to secure everything together before removing your pom pom. Repeat this for the remaining colors for the big pom poms.

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 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.I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial and found it helpful. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them below. I’d love to hear from you! Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting! And with that, the rainbow pom pom garland is complete! It turned out so cute! Step 5: Hang Rainbow Pom Pom Garland 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.

Now it’s time to put everything together. Like with my felt banner, I used a cotton yarn for this. It feels a bit sturdier, which is especially important on this project. Pom poms don’t weigh too much individually, but are surprisingly heavy when you string 27 of them together. This garland uses two sizes of pom poms. Larger ones for the pastel colors and smaller ones for all the poms in between.First, cut a piece of the cotton yarn. If the pom poms are placed end to end they measure around 48 inches. So you need that much plus enough to tie loops onto each end of the banner. Another foot or so extra should be plenty. 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.
