Every month Darn Good Yarn has a new box of goodies that ship to their Yarn-Of-The-Month Club.

You can SAVE 15% as a new subscriber! The box contains a skein of special yarn, a pattern and a gift.  It is awesome because if you subscribe annually, it is only $10 per month.  Last month the yarn was absolutely gorgeous, as in spectacular. I love rainbows and with these deep colors in the rainbow skein of magic, I decided to create an autumn rainbow pom-pom garland to decorate my holiday bookshelf.  It came out perfect and I cannot wait to share it with you along with how to make pom-poms in general.  As a kid, I made pom-poms for everything from my shoes to my hoodie ties.  This post is sponsored by Darn Good Yarn but the ideas and opinions are my own.

How to Make Pom-Poms

To create this beautiful autumn rainbow pom-pom garland, you will need the following supplies and materials:

Okay, so here you go.  Here is the “How to Make Pom-Poms” tutorial…

First, wrap the yarn around the cardboard 75 times.  The more you wrap it, the fuller the pom-pom will be.

Second, slide the yarn off of the cardboard and tie it TIGHTLY in the center in a double knot.

Third, cut through the loops on both sides of the tie, creating the pom-pom.

Fourth, trim the pom-pom if desired.

To create the autumn pom-pom garland, tie them all together.  This can be done by wrapping and tying them or by stringing them with a needle and a long piece of yarn.  Both ways work great.

Drape the string of pom-poms across the frame and secure with tape or staples or pushpins or whatever.
