Easy Love and Pompom Valentine’s Day Garland

Valentine’s Day Easy Pom Pom Garland Tutorial

If my front door can get a wreath then my living room deserves a loving and fun decoration too, right? Valentine’s Day is a special day even though we celebrate Love every day. Like I said in my previous post, It’s the perfect excuse to add some bright colors to our home after Christmas and celebrate Love in an extra special way.

This year I decided to reuse all my elements from last year’s V-Day Wreath. So, I made this cute and simple 10-minute pom pom garland diy! Nothing like a Love and Pom Pom Garland to cheer up our Mantel, don’t you agree?

I never throw away handmade decor unless it’s damaged or way too worn out. After making our cute Rustic valentine’s Day wreath last year I stored all the elements and a dear friend of mine reminded me of that and suggested a recycled V-Day decor. Why not?

This garland is seriously the easiest ever if you have the elements handy. If not then add a few more minutes to make about 16 pom poms and some cute hearts with L O V E letters.

This garland looks so cute in the home decor, you can place it hanging from your mantel or entryway table, from your bed’s headboard, or anywhere you like.

How to make this Valentine’s Day Love and diy Pom Pom Garland?

Woot, let’s do this!

Supplies:

White yarn or twine if you want a more rustic look.
16 pompoms (8 pink, 8 red and the size of pom poms are totally up to you) or more if you prefer.
4 wooden hearts ornaments with L O V E letters painted on each (with hangers)
Yarn needle
Mini Clothe pins

I created this quick video tutorial to make it easy for you! However, if you are more of a photo step-by-step kind of person just scroll down and keep reading!

Firstly, if you haven’t already made all the pom poms. You can make them with pom pom maker or with cardstock. Follow these tutorials to make your own pom poms.

Then cut a long piece of yarn. the length of the string will depend on where you will hang it, so make sure is long enough to go from one end to the other of your mantel or preferred place plus 2 inches on each end for attaching.

Insert the end of your yarn into your needle hole. If it’s too thick, use a piece of thread, insert a loop through the hole, then insert the end of the yarn through the thread loop and then pull back the thread and bring the yarn with it. See video.

Then insert the threaded needle through the center of your pom-pom.

The best way to do this is to make sure you find the heart of the pom-pom where all the strands of yarn converge.

Insert right there your threaded needle and then push it through until you see the need on the other side.
