Christmas Pom Pom Wreath Step by Step
Looking for an easy and beginner-friendly Christmas DIY? Read on to get the step by step craft instructions to make your own yarn Christmas pom pom wreath!
Materials
- Foam Wreath Form
- Yarn
- Pom Poms
- Scraps of felt (optional)
- Decorative items of choice (optional)
Tools
- Scissors
- Hot Glue
Instructions
- Cut a long piece of yarn and bundle it to make it easier to pass through the wreath form.
Begin wrapping the yarn tightly around the foam wreath form, tucking the starting tail underneath the back of the wreath and securing it with a small dab of hot glue.
- Wrap the yarn snugly and evenly around the form, pressing each row close to the previous one for a uniform look.
- When you reach the end of your yarn, overlap the tail with the start of a new piece on the back of the wreath. Secure the overlap with hot glue. Alternatively, you can tie the two ends together with a flat knot and secure the knot with glue.
- Continue wrapping until the entire wreath form is covered. Check for any gaps and wrap additional layers if needed.
- Create several pom poms in various sizes and colors. For easier placement on the wreath, glue the pom poms onto small scraps of felt first.
- Lay out your pom poms and any other decorations to decide on a design. Once you're happy with the arrangement, glue everything securely onto the wreath.
- For extra flair, attach a few pom poms to yarn strings and hang them from the bottom of the wreath. Add a loop of yarn to the top for easy hanging.
Notes
Project Tips
- This project typically takes about an hour, but timing may vary depending on the size of your wreath and how many decorations you add.
- The amount of yarn you’ll need depends on your wreath’s size, the yarn’s thickness, and how tightly you wrap it. Thinner yarns may require multiple layers for a full look.
