DIY Pom Pom Garland for Saint Patrick’s Day

We have Jen Goode back again this month with a fun DIY pom pom garland that is perfect for March! Grab your yarn to get started!

Today, we’re grabbing some yarn to make a fun pom pom garland for Saint Patrick’s Day. I’ll show you how to make these classic yarn balls you can use to decorate. Choose a single green yarn, or get crafty with a rainbow of pom poms.

How To Make DIY Pom Pom Garland

Before we dive into our pom pom making, I wanted to mention a few things first!

Yarn pom poms are pretty simple to create. You can make a variety of sizes just by changing the size of your template. String the finished pom poms together for a fun garland, and you instantly have a cute decor piece for your festive celebrations.

You can use the pom pom garland you create as part of a decor display. Layer different garlands together for different looks. I like mixing the yarn with cardstock cutouts for a fun design. You can use the alphabet printables to make a banner to go with your garland, too!

Supplies Needed To Make DIY Pom Pom Garland

• Yarn
• Scissors
• Cardboard
• Paper cut shamrocks (Get a free shamrock cut file from my blog)
• Glue

Step 1: Create Cardboard Template

Cut a piece of cardboard about 1.5″ wide and 4″ long. This will be your pom pom template.

Step 2: Wrap Yarn Around Cardboard

Wrap yarn around the template as shown below.

Step 3: Cut & Tie Yarn

Cut the wrapped yarn and then tie the bundle, leaving a longer length of yarn.

Step 4: Trim Pom Pom

Using the scissors, trim the pom pom until it’s a dense ball of yarn.

Step 5: Tie Each Pom Pom To A Piece Of String

To create the garland, tie each pom pom to a string of yarn.

Step 6: Cut & Glue Shamrocks Between Each Pom Pom

Cut shamrocks and glue in between each pom pom.

I hope you have fun making all kinds of pom poms to use for your St. Patrick’s Day garland. Here’s a little secret: I created all the green pom poms in my example, but I found the rainbow garland at the Dollar Spot at Target. Pom poms are pretty popular in the party sections these days, but they don’t always come in all the colors. So, making your own is a great way to add some extra fun to your party decor.
