DIY POM POM RAINBOW ART
Today's pom pom rainbow project was worth every minute (or about 2 hours if you can spare it!)
But as we wait, today's pom pom rainbow project was worth every minute (or about 2 hours if you can spare it!) I love the way it turned out, and it's also a piece that can hang up well beyond springtime and then some!
TOOLS & MATERIALS:
-
1 5/8" & 1 3/8" pom pom makers OR colourful pom poms
-
Yarn in six colours: Pink, yellow, green, blue, purple and white
-
Embroidery scissors
-
Cardboard piece (approx. 11" x 7.5")
-
Hot glue gun with extra sticks
-
Heavy duty scissors
DIRECTIONS:
Make all the pom poms first according to the instructions (this part takes the longest). Use the smaller of the two pom pom makers to create poms in the rainbow colours: 9 pink, 7 yellow, 5 green, 3 blue, and 1 purple. Use the larger maker to make 6 white poms to form the clouds. Note: you can increase the overall size of the rainbow by using larger pom pom makers. Then give yourself more time.
Glue the pom poms to the cardboard piece, starting with the purple pom pom in the centre and working your way out. Do this by adding the glue to the cardboard rather than the pom pom. Squish them tightly together so that there's no gaps between the poms. After all the poms are secured in the pattern shown, use scissors strong enough to cut through cardboard to cut around the poms and create the shape of the rainbow.
It's light enough and holds well, which is perfect for temporary locations.
