Winter Pom Pom Wreath DIY
November 16, 2017
I first fell in love with Pompom wreaths when they made their debut at Anthropologie. All of that gorgeous yarn and glorious texture in extraordinary colors truly delighted me. However the price of them did not, so I set my mind to making my own DIY pompom wreath and I am happily sharing the supply list and instructions with you today!

History of the Pompom
I have always been intrigued by the color, texture and multiple uses of the pompom and if you are too you might enjoy reading the history of the pompom.I dabbled in Pom Pom wreath making a few years back when I made this DIY-Pom Pom Winter Wreath. It was the prototype for what I have made now.

ReplyDeleteMorning Jemma,
