If you are looking for creative projects to make with wool, how about making a pompom wreath? Pompoms are easy to make and can be used in all sorts of creative ways. A pompom wreath can be used as part of festive decoration for any occasion, and with plenty of wool colours available you can make it as bright and fun, or as chic and sophisticated, as you choose.
Here’s a guide on how to make a pompom wreath.
A Wreath Base
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.
Making a pompom wreath is a fun activity for all ages and a great way to spend some time with loved ones while making decorations for your home. No matter what your level of crafting experience is, you will find pompoms easy to make once you have the know-how. So, why not rummage through your knitting basket and get ready to unleash your creativity?
