Then divide the length of your garland by how far apart your pom pom is going to be and that will give you how many pompoms you will need.

How to turn Pom Poms into a GarlandĪfter you have made all your pom-poms it is really simple to make a pom pom swag. Trim it into shape and your pom pom is ready to make a garland. Now you have an easy handmade pom pom ball. Pull the wrapped yarn from your hand and slip some scissors in the loop on both sides and cut the yarn. Next, slip the 20″ piece of yarn down between your center fingers and then tie it into a knot. Then trim the end and cut another piece of yarn at 20″. Make sure to wind it around your hand loosely. Just like the cardboard pom pom you will wrap the yarn around your hand at least 50 times. However, it is not as perfect when you take it off your hand as the form but trimming with the scissors will shape it up nicely. I have been making pom pom this way for years. This way of making a pom pom is my favorite because you do not need a form. Isn't this a fun project!! I love yarn projects like these yarn DIY bottle brush trees. The more you trim off the thicker the pompom will look. If your pompom is thin like ours take your scissors and trim the outside of the pom. Remember the more you wrap yarn around the form the thicker it will turn out. It took us several tries before we got a full pompom.

Then cut another piece of yarn about 20″ and wrap it around the outside of the form and in between the layers of the cardboard. Grab your scissors and cut around the edge of the forms. The more yarn you wrap onto the form the thicker the pom pom will be. Keep it as loose as possible and wrap it as full as you can. Now, begin wrapping the yarn around the two pieces of cardboard.
