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. Otherwise the process is the exact same as when making the larger pom poms. Wrap both sides of the pom pom maker. 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. I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial and found it helpful.

Just like the previous step, all that’s left is a trim. I wanted the smaller pom poms to be a bit denser, so I trimmed them down a lot further. Don’t be afraid to really get in there and give it a good haircut. Just keep going until it’s nice and dense and round. Here’s a before and after shot: 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. Next, move on to the small pom poms. These are going to be used to fill the gaps in between the larger pom poms. 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. 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

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.

Keep going until all the pom poms have been threaded onto the cotton yarn. Make sure they are all right next to each other, but don’t squish them too much. They only need to just be touching one another. Step 4: Tie Loops 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 PomsThis garland uses two sizes of pom poms. Larger ones for the pastel colors and smaller ones for all the poms in between. 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:

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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.

Like with a lot of my projects, I love to do crafts that are very customizable. And this one was no exception. And with that, the rainbow pom pom garland is complete! It turned out so cute! Step 5: Hang Rainbow Pom Pom Garland 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.

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.
