Creating colorful pom pom garland with leftover craft supplies.
One of the things we see over and over again at thrift stores is craft supplies.
You can read more about items to find at a thrift store HERE.
If you are a crafter, you know there are lots of bits and pieces left over from projects. This is why we joined with some other bloggers for a January Crafty Destash Challenge. The idea was to see what you could make with some items you had lying around. That is perfect for our ‘waste not, want not’ site!!!
Recently, we did these “Hatch” Animal Valentine’s and had a HUGE bag of little pom pom’s still leftover. It could take a while to use these up unless we found something that used a ton at a time.
COLORFUL CRAFT POM POM GARLAND
How cute would this be for a birthday party, kid’s room, or a Cinco De Mayo celebration? And you can change up the colors so you can make it whatever theme you want.
This project couldn’t be easier.
GARLAND SUPPLIES

- Craft Pom Pom’s (we used some like these but next time we will use these cute ones!!!!)
- Needle
- Scissors
- Thread
Yep, that’s it……..ain’t’ got no time for complicated.
GARLAND INSTRUCTIONS
- Thread the needle.
- If the pom pom’s are different sizes, make sure to decide on a pattern. This one started as one large and two small but then changed to all the small size for a more uniform look.
- Decide if you want any space after so many poms. These are all together but you could easily space them out by using a ruler to give equal distance. You could tie each space off but we found the pom’s don’t really move on the thread.
- Thread the needle through the middle of each pom pom. If you really want a crisp look, really focus on getting the middle. If you don’t care as much, you don’t have to worry about getting the exact middle.
- Alternate colors if desired.
- When you have your desired length, you can tie it off and cut the thread.
EASY PEASY
Oh, If you have a kitty, watch those playful paws trying to get your thread and poms!
Now don’t forget to check out what some other bloggers created with their craft stash so you can use up what you have.

Love it! We are totally twinning it. I just yesterday completed my first pom pom garland. So fun, right? And WOW! How smart are you with the Hatch Animals? My kids are obsessed with theirs and would love these.
This garland is so sweet and cute, and I absolutely adore the idea of the Hatch Animals. You are so creative.

Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, I think I’ll be using for a party for sure. But I do want to make more in other colors for home décor too.
This is so cute! I need to find somewhere to use this in my house so I can make my own!
Mary, And it’s so super fast. I didn’t even tie my ends and the poms stayed right in place. I am looking forward to trying different colors.
Gotta remember this for the next birthday party I host!
Sarah, I hope you do. Quick as a whistle!!
Such fun colors! Great way to use up that stash

Emily, These were brighter than I would usually use but it’s what I had on hand. I can’t wait to try some other colors.
Oh, how cute is that?! My kids would love to have one of those as a birthday party decoration, but I could also see it getting used as a boa during dress-up time, or just something fun for them to swing around (being honest here). So glad I hopped over from the challenge!

My kid’s birthday party is coming in a few weeks. This should be a good decor.

This is super cute and a great way to use all of the odd ball pom poms leftover from other projects.
Pam, I so agree. Pom poms are easy to come by in a craft room. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Nice easy decor for a host of parties!
Megan, I am looking forward to making different colors. I do think I’ll use this for Cinco though. Thanks for stopping by.
This project is so simple and just adorable!! I love how it turned out. It looks very similar to those felted garlands, but just a fraction of the price ! Great job girl 🙂
Chelsea, You are so right, have the price at least!!! Thanks for stopping by!
