I know pom pom wreaths are nothing new, but I had never tried my hand at one. I decided this would be the year! I’m loving all of the black, white, and green Christmas decor this year so I decided to stick with a pretty neutral color pallet for this wreath. I love traditional red for Christmas but I just can’t get enough of this color scheme!
I started with some neutral colored yarn from my stash – a white, cream and light tan. Then I started making pom poms!

I have this set of pom pom makers and they really do take a lot of the guess work out of making pom poms. I used the medium and large makers for this wreath. The great thing about this project is you can make it any color you want! Just choose your favorite yarn!
I made a lot of white pom poms and fewer of the beige and tan. Equal number of large and medium.
When I finished this is what I had. I decided to use this wire wreath for the base.
I laid out the pom poms kind of sort of the way I wanted them.
Next, I just started tying them to the base, using the yarn that was used to tie off the pom pom.
After I got all of the neutral pom poms on there, I decided to add some dark green ones for contrast and filler.
I found this yarn at Dollar Tree of all places. I’ve never seen yarn there before. It was the only skein of green they had and I snatched it up!
Here is how it looked after! I love it!
I decided to tie a thin black and white ribbon on to hang it. This would look cute on a wall, a door, on a mirror. The possibilites are endless. I decided to hang it on a chalkboard and I love the contrast between the neutral wreath and the black chalkboard!
I love crafting for Christmas and this was an easy one to do! Perfect for doing while you’re watching Hallmark Christmas movies!!

How big is the wire wreath part and how may things of yard did it take?

I used a 12″ wreath. The larger skeins I used about 3/4 of each. The smaller green skein I used about half. It just depends on how many poms and how full you make them. 🙂
