Step-1
Choose the colour combination of Pompoms you would like to cover your wreath. I have used a mixture of brightly coloured wools and yarns of varying thicknesses.
Step-2
Start to make your poms using the Clover Pompom maker. I have used all four of the makers to give the wreath a variety of different sized poms. I have also mixed different colours of yarn/wool used in single poms to create unique colour combinations.
Step-3
Cover the polystyrene balls in a layer of PVA glue and then cover in glitter. I used a kebab skewer inserted into the polystyrene ball so I could cover the entire ball in one go, however you could do it in two stages. Leave to dry
Step-4
Once the entire polystyrene ball is covered in glitter and dry, cover in a light layer of hairspray to fix the glitter in place.
Top Tip! To fill in smaller gaps on the wreath you could use ready-made poms for quickness.
Step-5
Use a glue gun to stick the poms firmly to the polystyrene wreath. I started by sticking the largest poms and polystyrene balls down first and then arranging the smaller poms and polystyrene balls around them.
Step-6
If you wanted to stick to just making pom poms to cover your wreath base like I’ve done on the wreath below, all you need to do is make a few extra poms to attach. Alternatively you could use ready-made poms to fill in any small gaps.
Top Tip! When making your poms why not use two different wool/yarn colours for a multi-coloured pom? They look great against the single colour poms!
Step-7
Or opt for a different shape such as a heart, which is great for valentine’s day, mother’s day or weddings.
