These little pom pom Christmas trees really scratch the creative itch for me. They’re simple to make with multiple uses and a vast array of different color combinations and options so that you can make dozens with no two being alike. It’s also a great option to use up residual yarn from prior products and can be created while sitting in front of the television catching up on your current binge – all around, it’s a great project.
This could also be a fun project to do with kids who are old enough to respect scissors and hot glue guns and use them safely — with supervision, of course!

Pom Pom Christmas Trees Video Tutorial
Step By Step Directions:
Step 1: determine what you’ll use as your tree trunk and if you’d like to to be painted, this is the place to start as painting and then setting aside will allow time to try while you build your pom poms.
Step 2: Create a pom pom using your pom maker – the more wraps around your pom pom, the better to make a fluffy, dense pom pom. I think I wrapped mine 150 times per side.
Step 3: Trim the pom pom into a triangle. Trim first across the bottom to create a flat bottom, then, take your scissors and trim at an angle up both sides to create a tree like shape
Step 4: adhere the tree trunk to the bottom of your pom pom using a hot glue gun.
