Spruce up your space with a touch of whimsy! This DIY Pom Pom wall hanging is the perfect way to add a pop of color and texture to any room, and the best part? It’s surprisingly easy to make, even for crafting beginners.
Skip the time-consuming step of creating pom poms yourself. This tutorial uses pre-made ones, allowing you to focus on the fun part – designing your one-of-a-kind wall art. Whether you prefer a minimalist approach with a few perfectly placed pom poms, or a vibrant explosion of colors and textures, this project lets you unleash your creativity and personalize your space.
We’ve always wanted one of the woven wall hangs that are popping up everywhere. But the honest truth is that we can’t really swing purchasing wall art in that price range at the moment.
In just a few simple steps, you’ll transform readily available materials into a gorgeous statement piece. So, grab your favorite pre-made pom poms, gather a few household items, and get ready to create a delightful and eye-catching wall hanging that reflects your unique style!
Materials Needed
- Yarn pom poms — You can buy them pre-made or make your own with a pom pom maker in various colors and sizes. Choose according to your design vision.
- Wood round
- Picture hanger
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
How to Make a Pom Pom Wall Hang
1 — Attach the picture hanger to the back of the wood round according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Depending on how thick the wood is, the nails might extend slightly past the wood. But don’t worry, they won’t be visible once the pom poms are glued on.
2 — Plan your design. Consider spacing, color combinations, and any patterns you might want to create. You can even arrange the pom poms directly on the wood round to see how it looks before gluing. This step is important because once you hot glue them down, they aren’t coming off!
3 — Now comes the fun part – attaching your pom poms! Using the hot glue gun, carefully apply a generous amount of glue onto the wood and to the center underside of a pom pom. Quickly press it onto the wood round in your desired location. Repeat this process for all your pom poms, following your design plan (or going freestyle!).
Your delightful pom pom wall hanging is complete! Simply find the perfect spot in your home and hang it using the attached picture hanger.
Tutorial Notes and Tips
- Experiment with different yarn textures for a unique look. Combine fluffy, chunky yarn with smoother varieties for added visual interest.
- Use a color palette that complements your existing décor or create a vibrant statement piece with contrasting colors. You can always go with more neutral colors.
- Opt for a different shape besides a round wooden piece!
- Consider making multiple wall hangings in various sizes and color combinations to create a cohesive theme throughout your home.

Instructions
- Attach the picture hanger to the back of the wooden round.Depending on how thick the wood is, the nails might actually be a bit longer than the wood and so will stick out on the other side, but no worries!You’ll be gluing the pom poms to the from anyways, so it won’t be noticeable or hazardous once you’re finished.
- Get a general layout of where your pom poms will be placed on the wood, because once you hot glue them down, they aren’t coming off!
- Now that you have a good idea of placement, start hot gluing them into place one by one by and applying a generous amount of glue on the wood in a given area so that they aren’t hanging on by a single thread.Finish adhering them until the wood round is fully covered, and you’re all set. Now just to style and hang!

Hi! Do you know what brand of yarn was used? These colors and combos are exactly what I’m looking for but have not seen yarn these colors! Did you blend colors yourself or were they multicolored skeins? Thx!
Hi Ashley, I am struggling to get nice thick pom poms, I use the clover pom pom makers. Do you have any handy tips? Cheers!

What fiber did you use for pompoms? Acrylic, cotton, ect?
Love this! Thinking about making one for my baby’s room. Expecting our first child at the end of this month! Hopefully, I’ll have enough time! What size wooden circle did you use? Thank you!
Hi Angelique, congratulations on baby! :) We used a 14 inch wooden circle. xo
