Add some color and whimsy to a wall that needs a little flair with our DIY Pom Pom and Clothespin Garland. We love how yarn can add so much color and fun to a space that needs some brightening up! We used a pom pom maker to make our poms, but you can use other techniques as well. We gathered some of our favorite little postcards, photos and even a packet of flower seeds that we wanted to hang from the garland. Use little clothespins to clip mementos onto garland. What a fun way to change out art, photos and memories!
