Imagine a row of snowballs strung together with little pops of Christmas magic in between, that’s exactly what this garland feels like.
The soft cream pom-poms create a snowy texture, while the red ornaments peek out like berries on a frosty branch.
It’s a garland that makes you smile every time you walk by, reminding you of snowball fights and twinkling lights on chilly nights.
Materials Needed
- Yarn (1 skein, cream or white, 100g)
- Pom-pom maker (2.5” size, or DIY using cardboard circles)
- 12–15 small shatterproof ornaments (2” diameter, red or color of choice)
- Thick string or twine (6-8 ft)
- Yarn needle (large eye for threading)
- Hot glue gun (optional, to secure pom-poms)
- Scissors
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Wrap yarn around your pom-pom maker (or cardboard circle) about 80-100 times, then tie tightly and cut to release. Trim into fluffy balls. Make 8–10 pom-poms.
Step 2: Cut a piece of twine about 7 ft long. Then thread your yarn needle with the twine.
Step 3: String on one pom-pom, then an ornament, alternating until you reach the end. You space each about 6 inches apart.
Step 4: Adjust placement so the pom-poms sit snugly between ornaments. If needed, secure with a dab of hot glue.
Step 5: Tie loops at both ends of the twine for hanging, then drape across your mantel, bedframe, or entryway.
Tips:
If you want a snowy woodland look, swap red ornaments for pinecones dusted with a bit of white paint.=
