Easy DIY Pom Pom Wreath
Winter makes me think of snow and to celebrate winter, I wanted to make a winter wreath for our porch. Pom Poms from the craft store mimic snow and I used them to create an Easy DIY Pom Pom Wreath.
The pom pom wreath was easy to make and I was able to complete the process in about an hour.
How to Make a Pom Pom Wreath
Pom pom wreaths are traditionally made with handmade pom poms crafted from yarn. Instead of making pom poms from yarn, I used three different sizes of pom poms from the craft store.
Materials
- 12″ Styrofoam Wreath Form
- 1 1/2″ Pom Poms – I used 36
- 1″ Pom Poms – I used 65
- 3/4″ Pom Poms – I used 94
- Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
- Wire or a Floral Greening Pin to make a hanger
Instructions
Turn on a tv show, heat up your glue gun, and get started!
Glue the three sizes of pom poms to the wreath form alternating the placement of each size. It’s only necessary to glue the pom poms to the front side of the wreath unless you plan to hang it on a mirror or glass door.
Continue gluing the pom poms onto the wreath.
It will take about an hour to cover a 12″ styrofoam wreath with pom poms.
For a hanger, I inserted a floral greening pin into the back of the wreath.
Another method would be to make a hanger with wire and attach it to the floral pin. Push the floral pin into the styrofoam to hold the hanger in place.
I loved how this wreath turned out but in retrospect, I wish that I had made it using a bigger wreath form.
Hang and Enjoy
I hung my pom pom wreath on our enclosed porch wall.
It looks nice on our brick wall and in-person the contrast of the white pom poms really pops.
Here you can see that the 1980s Wood Sled that I shared last week hangs to the left of the door and my new pom pom wreath to the right of the door.
I love to make things and don’t craft as often as I used to. It was fun to make this wreath on a cloudy winter day.

Great tutorial and the perfect winter accessory. Excited to try and make one, pinned for later.
So pretty, perfect winter white. What a good idea for a fun kids craft.
I love the three different sizes of pom-poms you used, and it does look lovely against the brick! Pinned!
Very cute! And simple and fast!! My kind of crafting! Thanks for sharing…
So very cute and a lovely change from typical greenery! Already being sick of winter here in Maine (another storm has canceled church for the second week in a row), I automatically thought of a (felt?) pastel rabbit facing away with another pom pom for a tail; it would extend that wreathe’s season for a bit!
That is such a good idea, Kathy! I am going to try to craft a rabbit and see if I can make it work. Thank you!
