I was going to hold out on the Christmas until December. Really, I was. I'm so bothered by the over-Christmasification of the last 5 months of the year (true story: saw Christmas trees in August this year), but yet, here I am, in November, with a very merry wreath on my door. Maybe you would like a very merry pom pom wreath too.
This is one of those "blame it on Pinterest" projects. It's also a 'blame it on easy access to a plethora of pom poms' project. Yes, I know it's a bit crazy. It's not a super traditional take on the holiday wreath, but then again, I'm not a super traditional girl. Like, at all.
Plus, just between us, the holidays kind of bum me out. I have to infuse my life with some crazy explosions of color, so that I don't find myself crazy and explosion bound come December 20th.
Pom Pom Wreath DIY
Supplies:
1 foam wreath base (I found a flat-backed wreath base at Target's Dollar Spot just before Thanksgiving)
Pom-poms of varying sizes and colors
E-6000 or hot glue
Wreath hangers
Start by forming multiple clusters of larger poms at various points around the wreath. Viewing the wreath form as a clock face, I made my initial larger pom clusters at 12 o'clock, 3, 6, and 9. I used straight pins to hold my first clusters in place before gluing them, because I have craft commitment issues; but it's not necessary to pin, if you would rather not.
Fill in empty spaces with medium-sized poms; continue to fill with smaller poms. Voila! The cheeriest wreath I've seen in a while.
