Rainbow Felt Ball Pom Garland, Nursery and Home decor By Stone and Co

Product Information

In the end, the banner measures about 53” from end to end (48” if you’re only measuring the pom poms). 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. And of course, if you need it to be longer, you can always add on more pom poms to make it whatever size you like. What You Will Need to Make a Rainbow Pom Pom Garland First, cut a piece of the cotton yarn. If the pom poms are placed end to end they measure around 48 inches. So you need that much plus enough to tie loops onto each end of the banner. Another foot or so extra should be plenty. Not long after I made my pastel rainbow felt banner I was already itching to make another one. This time, though, I decided to make one out of pom poms. Otherwise the process is the exact same as when making the larger pom poms. Wrap both sides of the pom pom maker. I actually had this project finished toward the end of last year. But before I could finish things up I had to set it aside to focus on my holiday projects. Then afterward I took a bit of a hiatus from my blog to focus on my personal life. So it’s a bit delayed, but I’m finally happy to have this one finished.

I usually trim my pom poms a bit more, but I made an exception this time. I wanted the poms to be a little bigger and it wasn’t a big deal that they weren’t super dense. Step 2: Make Small Pom Poms Next, start stringing the poms one by one. For mine I started with three of the smaller white pom poms. then I added the first large pom pom. Then I alternated between three small white pom poms and one large pastel pom.

I also really suggest using small, pointed tip scissors with a spring for this project. Trust me that they will save your life when it comes to making pom poms. Especially on a project like this where you are making a ton of them. First, start by making the pom poms. You can start with either size but I’ve chosen to start with the larger pastel poms first. 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. I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial and found it helpful. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them below. I’d love to hear from you! Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting! This garland uses two sizes of pom poms. Larger ones for the pastel colors and smaller ones for all the poms in between.

Next, move on to the small pom poms. These are going to be used to fill the gaps in between the larger pom poms. As you can see, the size didn’t change much. So I also I didn’t end up with too much fuzz left over. It was only a small little pile even after trimming all six pom poms. All that’s left to do now is find the perfect spot to hang your new rainbow pom pom garland (or whatever color scheme you decided to go with). You can hang it just as you would any other garland.

This time I’m only using white yarn and a much smaller pom pom maker. This one will give me poms that are about an inch and a half when finished. And with that, the rainbow pom pom garland is complete! It turned out so cute! Step 5: Hang Rainbow Pom Pom Garland If you look at pictures from my other tutorials on how to make pom poms, you can really see the difference in the amount of trimmings. But thankfully that just meant less of a mess to clean. And with that, let’s get started. My instructions here are going to be fairly brief. 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. When stringing on the pom poms the goal is to go through the very center between the loop that has been tied around everything. Sometimes you may need to poke around a bit to find the right spot.

Tie a bit of yarn into the middle to secure everything together before removing your pom pom. Repeat this for the remaining colors for the big pom poms. Before we launched, there were no commercially available pom pom garlands and the Rainbow garland was where it all started for PomPom Galore. We spent ages developing the right pom pom, yarn colours and construction so that quality and production were the best and most durable we could make. Tip: To finish them up, give them all a little trim to even out the ends. Here’s what they all looked like when they were finished:

And then, of course, there’s the leftover fuzz. There’s a lot more this time, partly because I did more trimming and partly because there were a lot more pom poms to trim up. Make a small loop at one end of the yarn and tie it into a tight knot. Then using your scissors, snip off any excess as close to the knot as possible.
