I left the bases on a few of them that were towards the front, when arranging them at staggered heights. The final step is to remove the bases on the little bottle brush trees and hot glue them along the bottom of your wreath, so it looks like a little colorful forest. **If you didn’t want to make the wreath, you could easily buy one (I saw several at HomeGoods and Joann Fabrics for around $40-50), and just glue the trees in place, to get the same look!ġ8. It takes awhile (I timed myself, and it took 5 minutes per pompom), so turn on Netflix, find Grand Hotel, and start watching it while you make them. Place 3 small pompoms, between each large, along the outer edge. Place 2 small pompoms, between each large, closest to the center.ġ7. Start with 5, evenly spaced, large pompoms (4-5 inch diameter cardstock donuts).ġ6. Take the pompom and start tying them on your foam wreath form.ġ5. Trim extra long pieces until it is about the same size all the way around (but leave the end strings that tied the pompom together.ġ4. Tear (don’t pull) the two sheets of cardstock and remove.ġ3. Wrap the yarn all the way around between the two donut pieces of cardstock.ġ2. Open the two sheets of cardstock, and slide a 12″ piece of yarn in there.ġ0. Once yarn is cut all the way around, place carefully on a flat surface.ĩ. Slide your scissors in between the two sheets of cardstock and start cutting the yarn.Ĩ. Peek through the yarn and find that cardstock.Ħ. Keep going around the donut until there is 1 even layer.ĥ. Hold the 4 end pieces with your thumb and with the other hand wrap the yarn around the doughnut.ģ. (Thin paper tears too easily during the process).Ģ. Cut a 3 inch diameter paper donut out of 2 sheets of cardstock. In fact, I saw several similar tutorials online but I decided to vary mine by using quadruple yarn when wrapping my paper donut, which makes it go faster, but it still manageable for kids (which is why I chose the paper donut method at all).ġ- Start out with 4 armspans of yarn, folded in half and half again. These pictures almost require no written instruction. (I spent about $15 on the yarn and an additional $10 on bottle brush trees and the wreath form) To make the Bottle Brush Tree PomPom Wreath you will need:ġ1 bottle brush trees of varied sizes and colors She specializes in making these keepsake or memory bears from flannel fabric, or a baby blanket that has sentimental value, or a garment from a loved one who has passed. The pink bear was made by a dear friend, Paula, who hand-makes them and gave this to Kaila when she was born (hence it is loved). Lastly, we strung some lights on her canopy and added a little Christmas pillow from Target (which can easily work year-round). The little cardboard house ornaments are from Michael’s. Once her bookcase was decorated, I couldn’t resist adding a little tree (found at Hobby Lobby on sale) by her bed.įor the tree we used some colorful plastic ball ornaments and pink disco balls from Hobby Lobby, gold snowflakes from the dollar store, a blue beaded garland from Target, and some thrifted birds. The felt pompom garland is from Hello Maypole and is the Seamstress colorway. I kept my tree groupings in odd numbers and staggered heights using her blocks. That metal little white house is from Michael’s. The bottle brush trees were found at Joann Fabrics (except for the blue ones, which I just dyed white ones with blue food coloring), and I got a little carried away with the quantity I bought, so I created a little village vignette on her bookcase. I wasn’t planning on doing a tutorial for this because it has been done a million times already, but several of you asked, and since I used specific sizes, placement, and a trick for making them a tad faster but that kids can still do, I relented and did a tutorial for this wreath, which is at the bottom of the post. She was even able to help me with the paper donut method of making pompoms (she is 4). I used a thick whiteish-cream yarn and added little colorful bottle brush trees for a… We started with things we already had, and since I had lots of yarn still from making pompom garlands in my master bedroom and entry shelf, we got to making a pompom wreath. Once that was done we really got in the mood to add some Christmas decor and I’m excited to share with you some Christmas ideas for a little girl’s room! Last week my daughter’s room was getting out of control messy with a closet that hadn’t been organized since… well, ever! So we took a morning and purged, sorted, organized, and cleaned.
