DIY Pom Pom Wall Hanging :: Monthly DIY Challenge

06/10/15

It’s time for another Monthly DIY Challenge! One of my fav days of the month, where some of me and my bloggy buds get together and create something using the same product or theme. And this month’s theme was…SCRAP WOOD. So many possibilities 🙂

DIY POM POM WALL HANGING

DIY Pom Pom Wall Hanging

So I took a little walk out to our front porch and looked around at the copious amounts of scrap wood I have. Seriously, it’s a little ridiculous. You might remember that I have an old wine barrel that we used at our wedding that I’ve already used part of for a PVC Pipe Table. But there’s lots more, including these cool curved pieces:

Scrap Wood

A bit rusty but nothing a little paint can’t fix 😉 Just from the shape of it I knew I wanted to hang something from it, and I’m always looking to make some fun art to use in my staging. Woven wall hangings are all the rage right now, but my weaving skills are pretty non existent. So I went a slightly easier route and decided to make some yarn balls instead. 😉


Here’s what you’ll need!

:: Yarn
:: Scissors

Yep. That’s it.


Yarn

STEP 1:

Wrap your yarn around your fingers multiple times. I went with 50.

Wrapping Yarn

STEP 2:

Cut your yarn when finished and cut an extra piece off that’s about 6 inches.

Yarn Pom Pom

STEP 3:

Slide the yarn off your fingers and tie the 6 inch piece around the middle tightly.

Making Pom Poms

STEP 4:

Trim the longer piece of yarn and then cut through the loops on either side.

Creating Pom Pom

STEP 5:

Fluff!

Yarn Pom Pom

Easy peasy right?

Now for the wood, I used a simple white wash (white paint mixed with some water) and brushed it on with a foam brush. I wiped off the excess and was left with an awesome weathered look.

To hang the pom poms, I just used some extra yarn and tied pieces between each pom. I wrapped the yarn around the wood twice and then stapled it to the back to keep it in the place.

Stapled Wood

And now I have a cool, new piece of art 🙂

P.S. I’m sure you notice a little something different about my backdrop eh? I’ll be sharing all the details of the update I gave it soon!

    I love the color palette you went with for this, and it’s so beautiful and simple! My cats would destroy it in a heartbeat but ohhh I think this would be just darling in a nursery!

      I can’t seem to stay away from this color palette! It’s just too good. And Oaks (my pup) was definitely intrigued but luckily he can’t jump that high 😉 And yes to the nursery!

Our laundry room was the first room we renovated w Our laundry room was the first room we renovated when we moved into this home. Mainly because it was the room my FIL had the least emotional attachment to 🤣 I still love it today but have been needing a little change. I’m in this room ALL the time, and was getting bored of looking at the same stuff! So I switched out the laundry basket, hung some artwork on the tile and changed up my vase and greenery. And it instantly feels just different enough to put a smile on my face and kinda make me want to fold all the kids laundry that’s been sitting in the dryer for far too many days 😜 little changes that make a big impact are my favorite 🙌🏻 truthfully: I daydream about painting the cabinets in here too - they read darker in photos but in real life are much more blue. I’ll save that for another day 😉 but for now I’ll stick to painting my bookcase. Head to stories to catch the first stroke of black! 🖤

Dilly or the new legs we added to my barrister bookcase? 😍 you know I’m all about repurposing around here and I love that we were able to take legs and other curved pieces from a $20 table I found on Facebook marketplace and add them to this guy! It wasn’t easy and if you get real close you’ll see lots of screws and chipped veneer 😂 but they’re on and I love them. Celebrating slow progress - because that’s how I’m rolling these days 🤪 can’t wait to start painting soon! #breinspired

Our spunky, sassy, passionate, dramatic, kind, loving, fearless, stubborn, strong willed girl is 5 today and my heart is bursting with pride for who she has become. From the way she is her brothers biggest cheerleader, to the way she lifts me up when I’m feeling stressed and overwhelmed, I’m constantly amazed at the depth of feeling she already has. Eloise I pray you never lose your fierce spirit and beautiful imagination and keep bringing joy to everyone you meet. WE LOVE YOU. 🤍 #birthdaygirl👑
$10 well spent 🙌🏻 I’ll never get tired of $10 well spent 🙌🏻 I’ll never get tired of a good thrift store makeover what about you? I love finding unique treasures that add character to our home, but sometimes they need a little TLC. I didn’t love the swirly stripe on the front of this lamp (which some of you liked - and that’s totally ok!) but that didn’t stop me from buying it and turning it into something I now love 😍 next time you’re at an antique or thrift store, try and look past what you see in front of you and imagine the possibilities of what you could create 😉 next up - gallery wall! #breinspired

And on that note, I should probably go water him 🤪 what’s one plant you have the best luck keeping alive?
