DIY Room Decor | Pom-Pom Crafts

[Music] hello today i'm going to be showing you three diy room decor projects made from pom-poms [Applause] okay i actually think that this kind of improves the sweater i just found conjoined twins in my armpit anyway this has been a strange intro let's just get into this video okay so first i'm going to show you how to make these hanging pom pom spheres i really need to work on coming up with better names for these things but anyway starting with some mini pom-poms and i'm gonna pick out the brown and black ones i want to stick with the vibrant colors so just get those out of there for the base i'm gonna be using these styrofoam balls you can pretty much get these anywhere at any craft store or walmart i'm using the little belly button as a starting point filling it up with hot glue and sticking on the first pom-pom and then just continue gluing the pom-poms on there i don't know why i'm acting like this is a life-changing decision just plop on random colors wherever and it will be fine i'm crowding them as closely together as possible so there aren't any awkward gaps once i made it to the top there's just a small opening left i took an eye pin you can also use some wire and just make a loop and just stick it into the ball which you really can't see because my big hand is in the way once you've got that in there take a piece of string in your choice of color and loop it through tie a little knot cut off the excess then hide the knot at the bottom then go ahead and finish closing in that gap with more pom-poms [Music] this step is optional because it's really just personal preference but i used some elmer's glue and twisted up the string coated it with glue leaving a little loop at the top once we have our little alfalfa thing all dried and ready to go it's time to add the final touch so i'm taking some ribbon and just tying a bow fiddling around with it for ages until it's perfect and then snipping off the ends you will want to glue this down just so it doesn't try to run away and here they are they look kind of like christmas ornaments to me um so you totally could use these as ornaments if you want i did soak my ribbons in some spray starch before using them just so that they would hold their shape better and stay nice and crisp and of course you can hang these anywhere in your room and it's just a nice little colorful decoration next is pom pom coasters this one is really simple and easy all you need is some pom-poms and thread so go ahead and impale your pom-pom and run the thread through it you'll need a pretty long piece of thread by the way probably like i don't know two feet maybe and once you get it to the end just tie a little knot and cut off the excess and then just continue stringing more and more pom poms one by one and going and going and going and going okay i'm just stalling now until you've got a long pom pom snake you should have some extra string at the end that's fine just let it hang out for now and go ahead and start spiraling the snake and gluing it in place with hot glue some people may try to say oh you don't need to use the string if you're gonna glue them anyway but the string really helps hold everything together and this way you can just use minimal glue and you don't have to completely rely on the glue to hold it together and that way it keeps it a little bit neater looking now with the end of the string all i did is kind of weave it back through and cut it off and here are the completed coasters perfect for a hot cup of pom-poms they're taking over here i go again throwing the pom-poms everywhere the temptation is just so strong to throw these i keep on having to clean them up but i just keep on doing it anyway i think that these turned out pretty cute and they're very doable [Music] [Music] now for the last project i'm going to make a diy pom-pom pillow i'm going to start with a pillow case and i thought about making the pillow from scratch but it's going to be time consuming enough as it is so first i'm going to use a couple different pieces of ribbon the more lines of ribbon you use the longer this will take you so decide how invested you are you'll need some thread for each different color that you choose to use and you will also need some thicker string once you have your ribbons where you want them secure them down using whatever i tape them down whatever floats your boat the first step is to sew along the top of the ribbon and leave this little extra bit alone if you don't know how to sew join the club because i really don't know how to sew properly either but i have learned that as long as you tie a knot at one end weave the thread in and out and tie a knot at the other end you've got the basic concept if you do want to try and use glue instead of sewing i mean go for it i think it would probably work fine it just might make the pillow a little bit more fragile once you have all of the tops of the ribbon secured you're going to go in with your thicker string and start stringing on pom poms and making little loops like so so that they can kind of dangle down from under the ribbon and just continue that with one long piece of string i'm not even securing them at this point so if you were to pull on any of them it would literally pull on all of them so you have to kind of be careful once you're done with that you will need to sew the bottom of the ribbon to secure everything and i was sewing through the strings that the pom-poms were hanging on to keep them from being pulled out no no no no opie please are you kidding me and once you're finished with that you still have two more to do yay so go ahead and repeat the same thing stringing the pom poms and then sewing the bottom of the ribbon down or gluing them if that's what you've chosen to do you know i'm not judging you now with those loose ends i am just hot gluing mine down sewing would probably be better but i was kind of burned out at this point so i opted for glue instead and finally it's time to stuff the pillow in there and see how it turned out voila here it is i think this is really cute i've seen pillows kind of similar in stores but i thought it would be cool to kind of choose my own colors and customize it it does take a little time especially if you're not the best at sewing me but i'm really happy with how this came out side note i'm left with a ton of black and brown pom-poms and i have no idea what to do with them let me know in the comments if you have any ideas of what i can make with brown and black pom-poms also also i wanted to show this little mini version this was like my test pillow that i made from scratch i think it turned out cute i may use it as like a pin cushion or something okay it's not a squishy i don't know why i'm squishing it like that anyway thank you guys so much for watching i hope you enjoyed these tutorials and we'll make one for your room if you do send me pictures through email my email is always in
