Pom pom flowers and yarn wrapped bottles are a great way to add a little something special to your home with spending a dime. That’s my kind of decorating!
There’s no need to run to the store for supplies. Gather up some of those old bottles you’ve been saving, yarn scraps and a bunch of sticks from the park. Dig the glue out of the drawer and let’s get started!
This is such a fun project! How can you NOT smile when you’re playing with pom poms???
Start by adding a bit of glue to a bottle {I used tacky glue} and stick your yarn to it. Add more glue…add more yarn.
Work your way from the bottom slowly wrapping it around until you get to the top. It takes a little longer than you might think. I just kept twisting the bottle and trying to keep each row right up against the last one. I’m sure you can figure it out without a video…ha!
Then you make your pom poms. I usually do this while watching TV or something. It’s super simple and you can find complete details on pom pom making in this tutorial I made awhile back.
You can make all one size or mix it up…whatever makes you happy.
Break your sticks to the right size and glue {with tacky glue or a glue gun} your pom poms to the top.
You’ll have a bunch of flowers in no time at all!
If you have extra pom poms you can make a Pom Pom Garland like the one hanging by my desk.
What do you think? Have you ever make pom pom flowers? I see more in my future!
Have fun!

Very cute. I’ve never made pom pom flowers, but I just might try.
These are really cute! When I have scrap yarn, I make pom pom cat toys. My cats just love them, I’m sure they would confuse these for them as well, haha.
looking good
nice post
