Yesterday I decided to make some Pom Pom garlands, to replace the paper ones in my room, as it's getting a little colder, and these just seem more cosy and cute. I'm very proud of mine, as they look like they could have come from Oliver Bonas, especially with those colours! It may seem quite painstaking making a lot of Pom Poms, but it doesn't actually take too long, and I just did mine while watching TV.
You will need:
- wool, I would use three or more colours
- a fork (or a Pom Pom maker, if you have one)
- scissors
Step 1) make all your Pom Poms in the usual way* . I made twelve, three for each colour. Trim them to make sure there are no extra long pieces of yarn poking out.
Step 2) Now cut another piece of wool, about 15 cm longer than you want your garland to be. At regular intervals, tie the string around a Pom Pom. Make sure to pull these tight, so no Pom Poms fall off.
You can now hang up your garland, and make your surroundings a little bit happier. : )
