Diy Pom Pom Pillow

Although I haven't started decorating for Christmas yet, I've been mulling over plans inwards my head. I know what my full general await volition hold upward too convey been thinking virtually which pillows I desire to piece of job for the season. I desire to mix my Togo location pillows dorsum in, but they've seemed a lilliputian evidently to me since I made them terminal summer.

With Christmas existence the fourth dimension for all of the extra lilliputian details, I idea I'd add together some pom poms to my pillows. Last yr I made a few pom pom projects too they are such a quick too slowly means to add together a lilliputian flake of fun to a room!

Have you lot e'er made a pom pom? They are SUPER simple, too you lot don't require whatever supplies other than yarn. I chose this extra chunky yarn from the arts and crafts shop because I idea it would brand the poms await overnice too total without using every bit much yarn. You tin sack brand ane alongside your fingers inwards solely v slowly steps:

1. Wrap yarn roughly your fingers. Not every bit good tight, you'll desire to slide it off easily when you're finished. Use 2, 3, or 4 fingers, depending on how large you lot desire your pom. I've fifty-fifty used 4 fingers but spread them out a lilliputian to larn inwards fifty-fifty bigger. For reference, I used iii fingers too wrapped virtually 35 times alongside this thick yarn for these 4" poms I made. The to a greater extent than fingers you lot use, the to a greater extent than you'll desire to twine too thus they'll hold upward overnice too full. In the past, when I've used regular yarn too 4 fingers, I wrapped virtually eighty times for a total pom.

2. Carefully slide what you've wrapped off of your fingers, too lay it centered over a cutting slice of yarn. (I used a double slice because my yarn wasn't really strong.)

3. Bring the ends of your extra slice upward too necktie them tightly inwards a knot roughly the middle. You volition convey something similar a donut alongside loops all roughly the edges.

4. Slide your pair of scissors roughly the edge, cutting all of the loops inwards the middle to opened upward them. Cut all the means around, only existence careful non to cutting that slice you lot tied roughly the center.

5. Fluff the pom out, too snip whatever uneven pieces until you lot are happy alongside the shape.

I started alongside a yarn needle too thicker twine to attach the poms to the pillow, but it was means every bit good hard to larn through the fabric, too thus I switched to a regular needle too thread. Just a few stitches to tack them inwards house roughly the border did the trick.
