Repeat this for the remaining colors for the big pom poms. Tie a bit of yarn into the middle to secure everything together before removing your pom pom. Next, snip your yarn all the way around the outside of the pom pom maker. Start by winding the yarn of your choice onto each end of the pom pom maker. However, if you need more info and tips on how to use these types of pom pom makers I have a much more detailed tutorial available. My instructions here are going to be fairly brief. I’m using one of my larger pom pom makers that will give me a finished pom pom of about 3.5” after it’s trimmed.Īnd with that, let’s get started. You can start with either size but I’ve chosen to start with the larger pastel poms first. How to Make a Rainbow Pom Pom Garland Step 1: Make Large Pom Pomsįirst, start by making the pom poms. But they really are one of my top must have items in my crafting arsenal. Thankfully I found mine before I ended up buying a new pair. I misplaced my pair a few weeks back and even though I have several other pairs of scissors in my craft room there was NO WAY that I was using another type of scissors. Especially on a project like this where you are making a ton of them. ![]() Trust me that they will save your life when it comes to making pom poms. I also really suggest using small, pointed tip scissors with a spring for this project.

In the end, though, size preference is up to you. And the pastel pom poms are made using the larger of the two from the “large” pack. For the smaller white poms I used the smaller one from the “small” pack. Larger ones for the pastel colors and smaller ones for all the poms in between.Īs usual I’m using my Clover Pom Pom Makers for this project because I just can’t get enough of these little tools.

That’s a bit shorter than the 6 ft banners that I usually make, but would still make a good decoration in plenty of different places. In the end, the banner measures about 53” from end to end (48” if you’re only measuring the pom poms). I debated on using four, but in the end decided to just stick with three. It took a little trial and error to figure out how many mini pom poms I would need in each section, but eventually settled on three. I think it makes it look a bit more “finished” than simply having the string showing through. So I decided to make smaller white poms to fill in the gaps in between each of the bigger ones. Unlike the felt banner, I wanted the entire length to be filled with pom poms. When you put the two banners side by side they make a really good match. I even tried to match the yarn colors to my felt as best as I could. I’m such a sucker for pastel rainbow colors, so that’s the color scheme I went with once again. So it’s a bit delayed, but I’m finally happy to have this one finished. Then afterward I took a bit of a hiatus from my blog to focus on my personal life. But before I could finish things up I had to set it aside to focus on my holiday projects. I actually had this project finished toward the end of last year. ![]() This time, though, I decided to make one out of pom poms. Not long after I made my pastel rainbow felt banner I was already itching to make another one. It’s a fun and easy project that is perfect for any level of crafter. Make this adorable rainbow pom pom garland to add a row of fuzzy pom poms to any room. ![]()
