Winter Wonderland Pom Pom Wreath
As much as I love holiday crafting, I’m trying to make an effort to make some projects that go beyond a certain day. There’s always a bit of a dull period after Christmas when all of the decorations get put away–more winter fun is called for. This winter wonderland pom pom wreath is great for Christmas, but, more importantly, it can stay up for the rest of the winter season.

Supplies:
- 16″ wreath form with pine ties
- 12″ wood bead wreath
- Big Twist plush yarn in white (I used three skeins–it will depend on how tight your pom poms are)
- 3.375″ pom pom maker
- scissors
- berry and pine cone picks
- Mod Podge Ultra
Directions:
You know the drill–make the pom poms. I find plush yarn to be super messy when I make pom poms with it, so be prepared for lots of shedding. It will be worth it, I promise!
Attach the pom poms by tying them to the frame. I started with the inner ring, but it doesn’t really matter as long as you get a full look. Make sure the pine ties on the wreath form are sticking out–the whole point of using this wreath form is to show them.
Take the wood bead wreath and place it in the center of the wreath. Use some of the tails of the pom poms (they haven’t been trimmed yet!) to tie it to the wreath. This part isn’t absolutely necessary to the finished wreath. This wreath sticks out a bit because the pom poms are so full so I like having the bit of wood bead show instead of being able to see behind the wreath.
When you’re sure everything is secure, trim off the excess tails. Spray the wreath with Mod Podge Ultra. This will keep the pom poms from fraying or making more fluffy mess. When the wreath is dry (it shouldn’t take long), place the pinecone picks between pom poms. I literally just stuck them in. If you feel they won’t be secure enough, you can glue them. Use as many or as few as you want.
I’m super crazy tickled with how much I love my finished winter wonderland pom pom wreath. I’ll admit that I almost gave up when I saw how messy the yarn was, but it was so worth it. The different textures of the wreath give it extra depth. It’s definitely a wreath that can be kept up all winter long!
