![]() This will give you a feel for just how many you’re going to need to make. After you’ve made some, start pinning them onto the foam, alternating colors/sizes and making sure to cover all but the very back of it. I used two different colors of yarn and made two different sized pom poms in each of those colors. How many you need will depend on how big your wreath is. You’ll be cutting through many many pieces of yarn at once. Make sure you have nice, sharp scissors for this. I’ve also read that you can use T-pins, but I keep going back to what I know and love. Their U-shape allows you to attach pom poms very securely. ![]() I’ve tried several different kinds of pins to attach the pom poms and decorations, and greening pins are by far my favorite. You could always mix it up even more and use more sizes though! For a 14” wreath I would use the middle two sizes. For my 18” wreath I used the biggest two sizes to make pom poms. The kids also enjoy using them, and they’ll occasionally request to make a pom pom or two just because. You don’t have to have anything special to make pom poms, but I LOVE my pom pom makers and have used them many, many times. I’ve hung up my wreaths both indoors and outdoors, and they still look like I just made them. I didn’t use anything fancy for this just basic acrylic yarn. How much yarn you need is going to depend on how big your wreath is. (That’s actually what I’m going to demonstrate on.) Their site also lists 10” and 12”, but since I have big doors I buy bigger whenever I can. I can’t even find an 18” wreath form like I used, but I did just buy a 14” one at Michaels. Because it starts out with more dimension, it makes a really nice, full wreath when it’s done. I’ve used both wire and foam wreath forms for pom pom wreaths, and the foam is my favorite. They get bored with it long before I did, but anything they’re able to do helps! I also like handing the pom pom makers over to the kids and letting them help out. As with much of my crafting that doesn’t require much concentration, I like making pom poms while I’m watching tv. The end result is so worth it though, especially if it’s a wreath that you can leave up for much of the year. Making a pom pom wreath isn’t particularly difficult, but it is time consuming. I kept thinking I would eventually make something, but I’ve found I really like those poinsettias. I bought some sparkly green poinsettia stems to stick in there for Christmas. I’ve only actually *made* decorations so far for Valentine’s Day and the 4th of July.
