How To Make a Pom Pom Garland

Haven't you been dying to make a pom pom garland? No? We'll I'm going to teach you all anyhow! It's easy- it doesn't take too much time & the end result is super cute & since I'm sure you're super bored this week- since you have absolutely everything finished for this coming Sunday- you're dying to make something new right?


                supplies-  
                scissors {preferably small} 
                      yarn {I used vanna whites gold glamour}
                 pom pom maker {you can buy them  at your local fabric store} 
                 needle {with a big enough eye for yarn & a dull point}
    1. follow the directions on the back of your pom pom maker to make your pom poms {you can also use your fingers but you won't be sorry buying the pom pom maker- it really does make the pom poms close to perfect that you only have to trim them a little in the end- use a coupon!}
    2. make about 9 to 11 depending on how long you want your garland to be {having an odd number gives you a center pom pom- even though I was too lazy to fix mine in my picture...}
    3. trim all your pom poms so they are beautifully round or oval {depending on what you prefer} 
    4. measure the length of your yarn {however long you want your garland to be- I did mine about 3 1/2 yards with 11 pom poms}
    5. thread your garland string & go through the middle of each pom pom 
    6. take a tape measure {I used a book} to place your pom poms on your garland evenly- starting from the middle going out
    7. hot glue your pom poms in place making sure you hit the middle so they don't move- if they move they could fall apart
    Wallah! You're finished & now you have the garland you've always wanted- use it to hang your christmas cards on or to make your room or your kids room a little more festive- use non christmas colors & leave it up all year! The decoration possibilities are endless.
