On the fifth day of Craftsmas our DIY will be:

• a POM POM GARLAAAAAAND,

• crocheted baskets basking (here!),

• flowering hoops a-hanging (here!),

• gold feather earrings (here!), and

• a warm, chunky arm-knit blankie (here!)

This is such an easy DIY that the only problem you’re going to have is deciding where to put it. Mantle? Tree? Drape it over a window or doorway? And during the other 11 months of the year, you could use this to hang photos from on a window or wall. This bad boy takes less than an hour to work up and you can make it in any color and length desired.

You’ll need:

• yarn in color of choice

• Darning needle

• Hands!!

How to make pom pom garland:

• Start by making your pom poms! I spaced mine out every 8-12” so decide how long your garland should be and then calculate how many you’ll need. There are a few different methods I’ve used to make these:

  • Using just your hands! Check out this pom pom how-to for a tutorial.

  • Using one of many available pom pom makers? Refer to my pom pom earring post to see how to use one via a video tutorial.

• Once your pom poms are made, cut a long piece of yarn and using darning needle, thread through center of each pom pom, spacing out as desired.

• Enjoy!
