Diy Pom Pom Christmas Garland for Your Tree

This pom pom maker comes in two pieces. The same but inverted.

Keeping them together with locks on, open the locks and keep both pieces on the same side together. We will work on each half separately.

With your thumbnail secure one end of our yarn more or less in the middle of your pompom maker.

Start wrapping going over the end of the yarn so it stays in place.

If you see between both pieces, you will notice there are like half balls in there.

Those get stuck on some holes on the other piece so you know you are making the pom poms right.

Keep wrapping until you cover well the pom pom maker.

The more you wrap the thickest and fluffiest the pom pom will be so I go for the thickest.

This step is totally up to you. You can try different amounts and see how you like best.

When you think it’s enough, wrap until you get to the pom pom maker end.

Pull the yarn tight so it gets secured.

Cut the yarn close to the tool.

Turn it over and repeat the process with the other side of the pom pom maker.

When you are done, cut a strip of yarn long enough to tie up your pom pom and get a couple of long tails left. Mine was about 8 to 10 inches.

Make your pom pom maker ends meet and lock both sides.

Try to keep the strings in the center in place with your fingers as you cut around. Be very gentle and careful here, don’t rush it.

Once you are done, you will have something like this:

Still holding both pieces, pass your yarn strip between both maker sides like follows:

Make both ends meet and pull carefully.

Tie it up with a knot. I usually make a knot here then go back with each end and tie up again. Double knot, triple know, secure it well.

It can get a bit tricky tying up between the two pieces but you can do it.

Open your pom pom maker and remove them from your pom pom. DO NOT CUT your long tails just yet.

Woot, there you go! You have your first pompom.

Easy peasy, right?

Now go for 33 more LOL…

So, Once you have made all your pompoms, remember to reserve 2 or 3 yards of yarn for the garland string.

Using your bodkin, Insert one end of your yarn and pull it down towards the tight part.

Take your pompoms from the tail you left in the previous steps and find your knot.

That will tell you where you should insert your bodkin with the string of yarn.

Insert your bodkin right perpendicularly very close to your knot loop.

Pull the bodkin on the other side and push the pom pom down the string.

Repeat this process with all your pom poms.

Don’t glue the pompoms or make knots because when you are putting it on the tree you want the freedom to move the pompoms through the string to position them where fits best.

Once your pom pons are all in your garland, you can cut all your pompom tails.

There you go!!! Your Christmas Pompom Garland is finished and ready to be placed on your Christmas tree or wherever you want it to be.
