What you'll need
- Yarn in several colours
- Acrylic paint in matching colours
- A pom-pom maker
- Clear fillable baubles
- Extra ribbon or yarn
- Sharp scissors
Here's how
Step 1
Lock yarn into your pom-pom maker. Wrap 20-30 times around your pom-pom spool then snip and repeat with all the remaining colours.
Step 2
Cut about 30cm of yarn of any colour. Thread through the bottom of the U shape on your pom-pom maker and bring it around to tie in a loose knot.
Step 3
Slip the yarn off the spool then tighten your knot to secure.
Step 4
Using sharp scissors, snip the loops all the way around making sure not to cut the string you used to tie the pom-pom.
Step 5
Once all loops have been cut, trim until you have a nice round shape. Repeat to make 6 pom-poms.
Step 6
Remove the tops from your clear baubles and squirt a small amount of paint inside, in colours of your choosing.
Step 7
Replace the lid and swirl or shake the paint until it covers the insides of the bauble. Replace the cap. Repeat to make 6 baubles.
Step 8
Leave for a few hours to dry, then alternate tying the pom poms and baubles onto your ribbon or spare yarn.
Step 9
Hang and enjoy!
