Every year, I look for new ways to decorate for Halloween without leaning too heavily on plastic decor. That’s how this pom-pom wreath became my favorite project.
There’s something magical about combining soft yarn textures with spooky spiderwebs, it feels like a mix of comfort and mystery.
As I hung it on my front door, I couldn’t help but grin at the way the fuzzy pom-poms softened the mood while the glitter and web tied everything back to Halloween’s playful spirit.
Materials Needed
- Wire or foam wreath form (12-14” diameter)
- Orange, black, white, and glittery yarn (enough for 25-30 pom-poms)
- Pom-pom maker or cardboard rings
- Black string or yarn
- Plastic spider or Halloween embellishment
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Wrap your black string or yarn across the center of the wreath form to create a spiderweb design. Crisscross until it looks web-like.
Step 2: Make pom-poms in different sizes using orange, black, white, and glitter yarn. Aim for about 25-30 to fully cover the wreath frame.
Step 3: Begin hot-gluing the pom-poms around the outer edge of the wreath form. You should alternate colors for a balanced, festive look.
Step 4: Once the outer ring is complete, add more pom-poms to fill in any gaps, layering for a fuller appearance.
Step 5: Glue a plastic spider (or two!) onto the web center for a spooky finishing touch.
Tips:
For extra Halloween magic, weave in a battery-operated LED string light behind the pom-poms. At night, it gives the wreath an enchanting glow.
