This month’s Craftabulous Supply of the Month item was none other than a 1 lb. bag of pom poms! Do you know how many pom poms come in a 1 lb. bag?! Wow! We chose to use the pom poms in a DIY Pom Pom and Tassel Garland. Simple. Colorful. Everyday Celebration. All of these words come to mind when I look at this pretty garland. I love how the poms, mini tassels and handmade yarn tassels scream HAPPY! You can hang the garland in your work space, your daughter’s room (which is what happened after I did this project) or just about anywhere!
Make yarn and baker’s twine tassels. Cut a piece of cardboard to 4 x 4 inches. Wrap yarn around the cardboard 6 or 8 times. The more you wrap, the fuller the tassel.
Loop a piece of twine under the top loop of yarn and tie in a tight knot.
Cut the bottom ends of yarn on the cardboard.
Tie twine around the top section of tassel. Wrap around the knot multiple times and secure by knotting again.
Using an embroidery needle and twine, slide the needle through the pom pom’s centers. Continue to add poms, mini tassels, wood beads and more. To add the handmade yarn tassels, push the needle and twine through the bottom of a larger pom pom and pull twine through the top. Knot and trim the top string.
