  3. Make one pom pom every ~6 inches of length (add more for a fuller look).
  4. Thread the braided cord through the center of each pom using a tapestry needle.
  5. Space evenly, then hang across a mantle, tree, wall, or window.

FAQs

Do I need a pom pom maker?
No. You can make pom poms by hand (cardboard or finger wrap). A pom pom maker just speeds things up and helps with uniform sizing.
How many pom poms do I need?
A simple guideline is one pom pom every ~6 inches of garland. Add more for a dense, full look or space them out for a minimalist style.
What yarn works best for pom poms?
Lofty, grippy yarns (like wool blends or textured acrylic) make full, fluffy pom poms. For a sustainable option, try reclaimed/upcycled yarns from Darn Good Yarn.
How do I keep pom poms from shedding?
Wrap generously, tie the center tightly, and give your pom a firm trim. A light steam can help set fibers; avoid over-handling to reduce shedding.
Is this kid-friendly?
Yes—great for classrooms and family craft nights. We recommend adult supervision for cutting and threading.
