How To Make A Pom Pom Christmas Tree DIY Wall Hanging

Inside: A tutorial to make a pom pom Christmas tree wreath to hang on the wall or door.

If you’re looking for a fun Christmas wall hanging, I’ve got just the one for you, my Pom Pom Christmas tree.

While rummaging through my craft stash (trying to hide it from my husband), I came across a load of green wool. This wool had been bought years ago, obviously when I was going through a knitting phase. Just because I no longer knit, that doesn’t mean I don’t have a craft for the yarn.

I love pom poms and recently did a roundup of some fantastic pom pom crafts. I took the easy route with the green wool and made pom poms with it, which I then, in turn, made into a lovely Christmas Tree wall hanging.

DIY Pom Pom Christmas Tree Wall Hanging

My pom pom Christmas tree is a gorgeous addition to my Christmas decorations. It also makes me feel a tiny bit less guilty about my craft hoarding.

The pom pom Christmas tree looks lovely hanging from a bit of driftwood on the wall; it would also make a fantastic festive alternative door wreath.

What You Need

• Green yarn doesn’t need to be expensive wool. Have a look in your local stores’ bargain bucket. Depending on how big you make your tree depends on how much yarn you need. I found 50g of wool made about seven pom poms.
• Coat hanger or pom pom maker
• Assorted coloured felt balls
• Glue dots
• Green embroidery thread and needle

How to Make a Pom Pom Christmas Tree

Step 1: The first thing is to make your pom poms. You can do this the traditional method using a pom pom maker or my quick method, where you can make more than one pom pom at a time. I use a coat hanger for this.

Full details of my quick pom pom method are on my paper bunny treat bag post. I made 28 pom poms approximately 6-7cm in diameter for my tree.

Step 2: Gather your pom poms together and arrange them in a triangle shape. I had a bottom row of 7 pom poms, decreasing by one until the top row was just a single pom pom.

Step 3: I would attempt to hang the pom poms like this on seven-string rows. However, that proved far more complicated than it looked. Therefore I stitched my pom pom tree together, which produced a much better result.

Step 4: I stitched the pom poms in each row together, and then I sewed the rows together to make the Christmas tree shape. Then decorate the Christmas tree with coloured felt balls. You can use glue dots to stick the balls to the green wool.

As I mentioned this was a really relaxing craft. I love to do stuff with my hands whilst watching telly with the family in the evening. Making Pom Poms are a perfect craft for this as they require very little attention or space to create.

I love the pom pom Christmas tree hanging on the wall but I am thinking about putting it on the front door as a wreath. Maybe it’s time to change up my felted acorn wreath, but I love that one too ! I just can’t make my mind up.

I’ve also made some cute colorful rainbow DIY pom-pom flowers to brighten up my home decor.
