  3. Fold the pom pom maker in half so it becomes a circle.
  4. Lock the half's together.

  7. Cut a 8 inch piece of the same color yarn and wrap it around the flat side of the pom-pom maker. Then tie it off.
  8. Trim your pom-pom so all yarn is the same length (make sure you do not trim your 8 inch piece of yarn used to tie the pom-pom together.

How to Make Your Pom-Pom Wreath

  1. Make approximately 30 pom-pom's of varying sizes (we only used the largest 3 sizes).
  2. Cut a 24 inch piece of yarn and fold it in half. Then wrap this around your wreath so it becomes your hanger. 
  3. Once you have your selection of pom-pom's, begin by tying your largest pom-poms to the wreath first (see below). Tying Pom-Poms
  4. When you are happy with the placement of your pom-pom, secure it with a dab of hot glue.
  5. Continue tying and hot gluing pom-poms until your wreath looks complete. 
  6. Once all pom-poms are tied, flip your wreath over and trim the excess yarn from the backside. 
  7. Display your wreath for everyone to see!
