Recently our friend Kelly from According To Kelly and Lion Brand Yarn gave me the chance to get a little creative with yarn. As in make something with yarn without your crochet hooks! Yikes! It took a little thinking, but I came up with this fun yarn pom pom garland for my Christmas mantel using some of Lion Brand's most festive yarns (like the Silky Twist and Martha Stewart Crafts Lofty Wool Blend yarns) and and their Pom Pom Maker. I even got the boys to help! It came together quickly and I'm already planning a birthday pom pom garland. . .or how cute would it be to hang brightly-colored pom poms from the ceiling in a nursery? Of course I'll be using them on upcoming crochet patterns as well. Pom poms are great stash busters!
Check out the full tutorial here at According To Kelly, along with some other super fun non-knit, non-crochet yarn projects, then come back and enter our giveaway!
You could win all the supplies needed to make your own pom pom garland! Just leave us a comment by Wednesday, December 21st at 11:59pm PT. Now go check out the tutorial!
Good luck!

how fun!
beautiful! I love how the different textures of yarn make the pom-poms have different looks!
Would love to win!
So pretty! When I read the title I was pucturing kindergarten crafts, but you pulled off Martha Stewart instead :)
I haven't made pom-poms for ages! I used to do it a lot when I was a teenager, maybe I need to resurrect that particular skill, they look so pretty and festiva.
Oh my GOSH! Do you know how many pieces of cardboard I have cut to make Pom poms and now I see that totally awesome winder! I want one! If I don't win, I will need to know where to buy it!
I love pom poms! So easy and fun.
So cute! Love the idea of hanging them in a baby's room!
I love Pom Poms! They make my kids so excited when they see them. I can only imagine them dragging a pom pom garland around the house!

LOVE this !! would love to win the stuff to make it! :0
The pom pom tree looks so much easier than threading the yarn through a circular pom pom maker. Love the garland!
I love love love the way the garland looks hanging in the window! Just screams "fun"!
I've got pom pom fever! Can't wait to try it out!
How cute and fun to make! Thanks for the chance!
What a great use for leftover yarn.
Very cute- I think I'll make some little ones to hang on my tree.
so cute! would love to win! :)
I haven't seen the Silky Twist yarn before. The pompom garland is very cute!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing your talents and ideas.
What FUN it would be to win this! I love Lion Brand yarns and use them all the time for crafts and knitting. I especially like that they have branched out into some "natural" yarns, not just acrylic and cotton...yippeee!
Oh wow! What a fantastic idea!
Very cute idea!
I love your blog, and I love pom poms! I can see these garlands all over my house...for the holidays, birthdays, any fun celebration!
Thanks so much for all the wonderful ideas you share. I'm keeping my fingers crossed to win the pom pom set! :)
All of a sudden I feel the NEED for pom-poms in my life!
99% of the yarn I use is Lion Brand. Love it!
oops. Commented under my husband's identity . . . maybe he'll help me make pom-poms if I win!?!:)
I love Lion Brand yarns...and I would LOVE a pom pom maker! Your garland looks great!
Pom Pom maker? You mean I wouldn't have to cut a piece of cardboard for each size I need every time I want to do something with pom poms?! How fun is that! The garland is very cute too. My 10 year old is always knitting, I'd have to call the yarn as "mine."
What a great idea! Pom poms are so fun! Thanks!
I love Pom Poms!! so soft and fun, just a bunch of different colors and sizes and textures in a bowl would be great.
The pom poms are sooo cute. I could see them on the tree or used to make a DIY Angry birds game
LOVE IT! What an easy way to add tons of flair! Can't wait to do it for my daugther.
Love this pom-poms and I would really love to try andmake my very own...thanks for the chance to win!
I would love this. My stash needs some busting and I bet I could get my boys to help. And the dog would love one too, LOL
Great idea...have made pom poms before, but never thought of garlands...some for the tree...
What a great idea! It looks good, too!
Have been wondering how to make one of these....thanks for sharing!
love those poms!
The pom pom garland is adorable. Great tutorial!

I love them. Would love to make some for myself.
These are adorable! Thanks for sharing ;)
How fun! Great tutorial.
these are just what i am looking to make! :)
Well if that isn't just the cutest thing ever, I don't know what is! Pick me! I need to be more crafty.
I love these pom poms. I'm going to try it with a rectangle, mine using a ring take forever and never seem to turn out as well as I'd like.
Love it! And love the colors!
Woo I love pom poms!

I love poms and would love to be able to make some for my nursery...we are just starting to put it together for our twins...I am 9 weeks and super excited to get started! These would be so cute!!
This is an awesome idea! I have a ton of yarn just laying around waiting to be turned into something fun. Time to dig up some holiday colors!
I love a garland with a difference! Perfection on a mantle or popped on top of pressies!

I need more mantels in my house for all these ideas! I'm adding pompoms to my to do list.
I love this. How cute is a pom pom garland. In all different colours and sizes. I love this. I would love to win this giveaway but I love the idea so much so thanks for sharing.
What a great idea on the pom pom maker. I like the way the lion brand yarn made them so fluffy, without looking weird.
pom poms are a great starting craft for children
That pom pom maker looks much easier than the cardboard I have been using to make pom poms (and I still have one to make before Christmas).
My sister taught my daughter how to make those pom poms over Thanksgiving holidays and they are adorable!! She is 11 and they are popping up all over the house! She'd love this!! Thanks for sharing!
what a cool give away!!!! that would be so fun to make with my grand kiddos!

Sweet! Love how easy that is!! What a neat idea for a garland to use up all those bits and balls of odd yarn!

So adorable!
Those pom poms are adorable! But I've just discovered crocheting. I would probably use it for that!
I need more pom poms in my life! I do not have nearly enough! I have a strange wish to cover my dog, cat, child, and husband in them.
Very pretty pom poms -- Great colors.
Love, Love, Love it!
Very Cute!! Love LionBrand yarn and their website.
We used to make pom poms by wrapping the yarn around cardboard. This looks so much easier. Love all the yarn colors!
Yes indeed! i NEED, aka MUST HAVE, that Pom Pom maker tool. So much easier than wrapping on your hand!
I want to make these!
This project took me back to my childhood. I had forgotten all about it!
