The precise quantity will rely on the dimensions of your pom-poms, the dimensions of your wreath, and the way full you need it to be, however I made about 56 pom-poms for this 16-inch wreath. I used a 2 1/2-inch (65 mm) pom-pom maker for many of mine, but additionally made some within the bigger 3 3/8-inch (85 mm) measurement.
As a result of it’s thinner than yarn (you might undoubtedly use chunky yarn!), tying off the pom-poms with clear fishing line will make them safer than tying them off with yarn. Folks additionally suggest utilizing heavy-duty stitching thread, crochet thread, and even dental floss.

Connect the pom-poms to the yarn on the wreath type with sizzling glue. To get an thought of the way you’ll wish to organize them, it helps to put out as many as you’ll be able to on the wreath earlier than you glue them down. You should utilize pins to carry them in place earlier than they’re glued.
