DIY Snow Sprinkled Pom Pom Flowers
You probably have most of the materials on hand, so these low-maintenance blooms are inexpensive and easy enough that the kiddos can help!
What you’ll need:
- white yarn
- a fork
- Sparkle Mod Podge (or your favorite liquid adhesive)
- disposable foam brush
- fine, iridescent glitter
- thin sticks (look, it’s crafting & yard work, ha ha!)
- hot glue gun
Using the white yarn and a regular kitchen fork, use my tutorial here to create fantastically fluffy pom poms! Hot glue white pom poms to thin sticks from your yard and your flowers have stems!
Hold the stem and use a disposable foam brush to brush Sparkle Mod Podge (or liquid adhesive) over the tips of your pom pom flowers and sprinkle glitter over the flowers while the adhesive is wet. Make sure to prop the flowers up to dry.
Now that you’ve made these DIY Snow Sprinkled Pom Pom Flowers, use them to add handmade flair to your gifts! One of my favorite ways to wrap gifts is to embellish plain kraft wrapping paper. I’ve got lots of ideas on my giftable stuff Pinterest board 🙂
Attach a sparkly pom pom flower to a kraft wrapped gift with striped twine, thick satin ribbon or even jute and add a sprig of red winter berries and greenery. Classic and just so pretty!!
Thanks again to The Frugal Girls for the opportunity to share these DIY pom pom flowers and easy holiday wrapping idea with you!! I hope to see you around my neck of the woods soon! Happy, happy holidays!
