Pom-Pom Pillow
January 4, 2013 by admin • 42 Comments
Tis’ the season for Pom-Poms; they are just so happy and fun! After finding much inspiration in blogland, I decided to make some pom-poms to cozy up one of the pillows I recently purchased. The yarn I used was left over from another project and I had enough to make 6 – 2 inch pom-poms.
I used a piece of 4 inch cardboard and wrapped my yarn around it…about 50 times. Then I slipped it off the cardboard and tied the middle. With the yarn being secured in the center, I snipped the loops and gave it a good trim all over.
The pillow came from World Market and was purchased at a discount. I decided to change the look by attaching pom-poms to the buttons. I simply glued them on .
Now isn’t that cute? The pom-poms gave this pillow some character, cozied it up a bit?
That was a fun craft…really simple and quick. My kinda project !
The weekend is just around the corner…I hope you have a great one!

Oh my gosh, that’s so cute and I think I could do that! Adorable.
Very cute.
Pompoms were a craft that I learned as a child. I loved doing chicks in soft yellow and then glued a tiny red beak… might think of this for Easter.
Wishing you a lovely weekend,
Teresa

I made my first pom pom a week ago and was in awe of how cute it was. Now I’m thinking, “what else can I do with these.” This is cute!
Thanks for stopping by, love the pom-poms..there has to be a cute Valentines Craft we can incorporate pom-poms in
omg I absolutely LOVE your pom poms! They turned out great! I tried this once but it was a fail so I’m going to have to try it again. Thanks for sharing….I pinned this to my DIY board on Pinterest.
Thanks Jennifer…I think using a thick yarn helps them to look fuller! Hey, thanks for stopping in!
How adorable are these!?? And you just glued them to the buttons! I would have never thought of something so simple! Love these! Pinning this one!

Thanks Jenna, yes, I took the easy way out by just glueing them to the big buttons…very quick and fun!
These are wonderful and so whimsical.
Thanks for stopping by, Erin….love your sweet note!
What a great idea! I pinned it to my “repurpose, recycled” board even though it’s a new pillow. You’ve totally remade it!
Thanks for the inspiration!
I may be adding these to something unexpected soon. Let me think…

Those are just so cute and add so much personality to that pillow! I think you are right, a thick fuzzy yarn makes them
look full. Thanks for sharing that idea with us. I saw your post over at StoneGable blog party.
Thanks Miss Kitty, so easy to do and just kinda fun! Have a great week!
Such a cute idea. And it looks wonderful!

I like them that way! I love the yarn color.
That is so cute and cozy. Would you mind if I share this on my blog as a featured [Simple Change} post that I do?
Very cute idea! I love the brown you chose. I can just see my boys rubbing their cheeks on the pompoms and saying,” these are so soft”. Thanks for sharing!
