And with that, the rainbow pom pom garland is complete! It turned out so cute! Step 5: Hang Rainbow Pom Pom Garland 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. 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. Once they are all done, you can admire your pile of fuzzy little poms. For some reason the small ones always come out looking messier than the larger ones. Lastly, loops need to be tied onto each end of the banner so it can hang. If you look at my picture above I actually tied one of the ends before I started stringing the pom poms. But if you wait to tie both at the end it makes no difference.

Unlike the felt banner, I wanted the entire length to be filled with pom poms. So I decided to make smaller white poms to fill in the gaps in between each of the bigger ones. I think it makes it look a bit more “finished” than simply having the string showing through. Before tying up the other end, make sure the pom poms are all spaced the way you want them. If they are too tight or too loose you likely won’t be able to fix it later without stringing the pom poms onto a new piece of yarn. This garland uses two sizes of pom poms. Larger ones for the pastel colors and smaller ones for all the poms in between. Having a lint roller handy makes clean up a lot easier if you have one. Those tiny little fuzzies have a way of getting everywhere. Step 3: String Pom Poms onto Cotton Yarn Like with a lot of my projects, I love to do crafts that are very customizable. And this one was no exception.

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. Now put on a good movie and get comfy because you need to do this another 20 times. This was by far the most tedious part of the project, so it’s best to have something to keep your mind distracted while you work. Or in my case, I just did a few at a time throughout the day until they were all finished. 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: 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. 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.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.

Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting! 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 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
