I actually laid out all my pom poms on the floor with the spacing I wanted between them and then laid the string out next to them.
I used the same yarn I used for the pom poms. Once you make all your pom pom's, Next you will cut the string for your garland. You can make yours as large or small as you'd like! I made 8 pom pom's and my garland is about 5.5 feet long. I felt like I wasted a lot of yarn in the end so Just give yourself enough string to be able to tie it onto the garland. Mine looked like this, but you could honestly make yours shorter. When you get to step 5, I kept my string longer so I had room to tie it onto the garland. These are the instructions that came with my set & it's super easy to follow along! Once you make one, it's so easy! This is honestly a lot easier and less complicated than how I would've explained it lol so I'm leaving this here for your benefit. The plastic ones were A LOT easier & quicker If you are only planning on making the pom poms once and never again, I'd say the template would be fine! THIS is the video Tutorial I used for making my own. The cardboard template is fine, but I found I would accidentally cut the cardboard and it started to get bent and it was just a little more time consuming. I've done both and in my honest opinion if I could go back, I would've bought the makers from day 1. If you don't want to purchase the pom pom makers, you CAN make your own template.

I'm thrilled because I scored and literally spent LESS THAN $3 on this garland! YES THREE DOLLARS! (Keep in mind I did have a coupon for the Yarn haha) Start to finish I would say it probably took about 45 mins maybe? Turn on your favorite holiday movie after the kids are in bed, or listen to your favorite podcast/audio book while you make this and it makes for such a good stress reliever/fun activity! Now I know some of you would much rather just spend the money because it's totally not worth your time- And I fully support that! I'm sure the anthro quality is probably better than mine anyway lol! BUT for those who want to get a little crafty and put that extra money towards something else, I have a really good DIY for you! It was a bit pricey, and I just could not justify spending that knowing I could probably make my own.
Let's talk Pom poms! I see them EVERYWHERE lately!! And with no surprise, because they are darling! AND even better- they are SO simple to make! I saw this Holiday Pom pom garland at Anthropologie this year that totally inspired this project.
