Pom Pom Session 3

O.k. so a few days ago I shared my newest ideas for using pom poms...I think I may have a slight obsession with them. (ya think) anyway - this one happened upon me actually. I found a box of stuff I had made last Spring for a craft show - (stuff unsold) sadly. But some cute stuff frankly and I found these cuties...

 

 

I mean really - do they come any cuter?

Just 2 mini pom poms glued to each other and some fun little felt accents and 2 black glass beads for eyes...

 

each one nicely perched in their own nest inside a peet pot...totally says spring right? and the best part is that they have pin backs so these babies can be worn on your lapel or vest {squeal} can you stand it!

 

Ok. well add that to the pom pom list!!!

 

happy Easter ya'll

Going a little POM POM crazy

Can you really ever have too much cuteness? I mean really not only are these little guys super easy to make but I just seem to keep finding new things to do with them.

So in my attempt to de-clutter some of the extra "schtuff" 

 

Besides making the usually pom pom banner and placing some inside an apothecary jar how about making flowers with them...well something that resembles a flower...How easy is it to grab some hot glue and insert a skewer into the pom and shazaam FLOWER power...

 

Perfect for my Spring décor.

LOVEly pom pom Garland

Day 14 of my make it challenge ---- I gotta tell you I have LOVE, hearts and the colors red & pink just taking over my brain right now...Tonight I made another banner garland out of yarn I had here at home. I decided to make a POM POM GARLAND

Super cute and oh so easy. No tools needed other than my fingers & a pair of scissors.

 

I wanted to add a little something in the middle to make it pop and made this silly tassel - not sure I am liking the look - so I'll leave it up and think on it for a bit.

 

I have another garland to share with you tomorrow - I know I am obsessed...or I could just say I am OCD and need the repetition of it all. Regardless, I love banners/garlands.

I am listing these tomorrow in my etsy shop...in case you don't want to make it yourself.

Garland Twist

As if you hadn't heard of or fallen in love with POM POM {then perhaps you have been out of the country for a few months or so} then have I got a treat to share with you.

I have been making pom poms for a few weeks now with the intentions to make garlands out of them...and well here are the fruits of my labor!!!

 

The basic way for making these is to use a cardboard and cut a slit and wrap them until you like the size and tie off - I however use three of my fingers and wrap then slide off and tie off with an extra strand of yarn and tie TIGHT!!!!

 

then the fun is giving the poms a haircut!!!

 

This is my tropical paradise pom pom garland - its listed in my etsy shop {if your interested}

 

Here is my rainbow pride pom pom garland - I love it - its so happy!!! Also in my shop

 

If you take a look at Pinterest you will see lots of fun projects with pom poms...

 

In case you need ideas on how to use these fun garlands try them on your mantel or perhaps on a wall celebrating someone's birthday...just put them up to make you smile...

Pom Pom LoVe

On our way to the beach today I decided to get busy on making some Pom poms. My hubbs asked "what are those for?" & with no hesitation I replied "Haven't you heard Pom poms are all the rage." He laughed. 

But, I am sure you know after looking on Pinterest that Pom poms are hip, trendy and offer pure happiness - at least I think so!!!!

Here's what I've got done so far....
