DIY Pom Heart Valentine Wreath
Ok, so I have totally been into the pom-pom making! It started at Christmas putting pom-poms on all my gifts, and now I’ve moved on to Valentine’s Day. It’s so fun to use poms to decorate for the holidays! I found this fun little wreath on Pinterest (thank you for the inspiration Country Peony), and wanted to make my own. Here is how I made it.
Tools
Let’s start with what you will need to make this adorable Valentine’s wreath. You can click on each of these items to see what I used or for a quick purchase.
~Wire Wreath
~Clover Pom-Pom Maker
~Yarn (pick your own color choice)
~Hot Glue Gun & Sticks
~Sharp Scissors
First
Make your pom-poms. I think I have about 33 poms on this wreath. The amount just depends on what size poms you use. I have three different sizes on here and four different colors of yarn.
Fun Fact: I timed myself while making a pom-pom and it takes me close to four minutes to make each one. But super easy to do while watching your favorite TV show.
Pom-pom Making
This is pretty important when making your poms. Make sure you spin the yarn very tight and make it as fat as possible. I make mine fat enough, so it’s pretty hard to close the pom maker shut. I hope that makes sense. Here is a photo so you can get a visual. Also, make sure when you tie your pom, it’s nice and tight, and leave the string long so you can tie it to your wire wreath. You might have to trim up your pom a bit, there are usually a few strings hanging out. And the more you trim it the fluffier it gets!
Second
Before I start adding my poms to the wreath, I lay out the pom design to see how it will look on the wreath.
Double knot your poms to the wreath, then add a little hot glue to keep it from moving around.
Next
Start adding your poms to your wreath! I put different sizes next to each other to add a little dimension. Just make sure as you are adding that you don’t lose the shape of the heart. I got a little carried away and had to readjust of few of my poms. LOL
After you are done adding your poms you might want to trim up your heart a bit and make sure it still looks like a heart.
Adding a Hanger
If you want to hang your wreath, add a piece of yarn or I added a piece of jut to the back of the wire wreath by tying two knots like I’ve shown below.
Well, I would love to hear about your experience if you decide to make this wreath. Happy DIYing and Happy Valentine’s Day!!
