Purchased bows and ribbons are fine, but why not add a more personal, crafty touch to your next gift? These Floral Pom Pom Gift Toppers make a lovely addition to any package!
SUPPLIES:
In addition to the lovely gift, you’ll need 2 colors of yarn (Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice shown), a sharp pair of small scissors, a green “chenille stem” (what we called pipe cleaners growing up), and a Clover Pom Pom Maker! Get your own at Clover USA, Amazon US, Amazon CA, Amazon UK, or Amazon DE.
STEP 1:
Holding your two colors of yarn together, wind a large pom pom using a Clover Pom Pom Maker – CLICK HERE for a step by step tutorial. Before closing the second set of arms, insert a chenille stem as shown below.
STEP 2:
Cut and tie off the pom pom, keeping the arms closed while cutting and tying. This will enclose the chenille stem inside the pom pom.
STEP 3:
Fold the halves of the chenille stem together, and using your fingers, shape them into leaves.
STEP 4:
You can add a dab of glue to secure the ends of the chenille stems if desired, but it’s optional and not shown here. Attach to your gift, and be the best guest at the party!
Isn’t that fun?! You can, of course, use all sorts of color combos and schemes, and make Floral Pom Pom Gift Toppers in any size to suit your gifts. They are great for birthdays, weddings, holidays… and of course, pom pom parties! Add this Pin to your favorite Pinterest board so you’ll have it next time you have a beautiful gift to give!
