Here’s a guide on how to make a pompom wreath.

A Wreath Base

According to Britannica wreaths have a long tradition in many cultures and their use is popular in the UK and many other countries. Making wreaths is a tradition usually associated with Christmas, but can also be used to celebrate the seasons.

Whatever the reason you have in mind for your wreath, you will need to start your project with a base, which is readily available from craft stores and florists.

Choose Your Colours

Whether you are buying new wool, or using scraps out of your knitting kit, choose your favourite colours to start making your pom poms. More ideas for wool colour combinations can be found on specialist sites such as woolcouturecompany.com.

There is a simple method of using two circular pieces of card to create pom poms, or you could use a pompom maker.

Decorating your Wreath

Begin adding your pom poms to the wreath base using a hot glue gun. It is a good idea to add the larger pompoms first so that you can fill in any gaps with smaller ones. Whether you go for a uniform pattern, or something more random and fun, you are sure to have a decoration that will be a talking point for your family and friends.
