DIY Pom Pom Wall Hang — For those of us that don’t have the knack for woven versions, let me introduce you to this cute little DIY pom pom wall hanging instead!
I’ve wanted one of the woven wall hangs that are popping up everywhere forever, but the honest truth is I can’t really swing purchasing wall art in that price range at the moment.
I’m also 120% positive that I don’t have the attention span for learning how to weave one, so I decided to make my own version of a wooly (that’s a technical word right?) wall piece myself with this DIY pom pom wall hanging.
Lucky for me I happen to be dating a guy that loves to help, and he reallllly loves to make pom poms (it’s true, he says it’s relaxing), so this turned out to be a not-so-time consuming project, but you can also purchase pre made poms on Etsy too!
While you’re saving yourself all kinds of pom pom making time you can now be pondering what Jared is going to look like in thirty years with knitting gear in hand, cause clearly that’s where he’s headed (love you, babe!)…
Materials Needed To Make A Yarn Pom Pom Wall Hanging DIY
Yarn pom poms — You can buy them pre-made or make your own with a pom pom maker.
How To Make A Pom Pom Wall Hang
Step 1 – First, 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.
Step 2 – Next, 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!
Step 3 – 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!
I went with the “whatever goes” color palette, and yes, I’ve been wondering when Pantone is going to officially announce that as a color option, too.
You can always go with more neutral colors or a different shape besides a round wooden piece!

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!
I love these, great DIY tutorial.
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
Nice tutorial! But Where did you get your pom-poms? I was looking on etsy but didn’t find something similar, yet as COLORFULL. Thanks!
I pay a visit each day a few web pages and websites to read
articles or reviews, but this weblog presents feature based writing.

It’s from Dot & Bo!

Ignore my above question…I just saw a YouTube video on how to do it. I’m off to Jo-Ann Fabrics tomorrow to get my supplies! Let the pom-pom making begin! :)
Definitely want to make this…it’s incredible! This may be a stupid question, but how do you make the pom-pons with the multiple colors on it? Thanks so much!
This is so brilliant! I’ve wanted a woven wall hanging for ages now as well but they’re just so expensive. I’d never even thought of this, it’s such a creative yet simple idea. Definitely going to make one in greys, whites, browns and black. Thank you for sharing this with us :) x
This is so pretty….love this idea… definitely making one of these
I absolutely love this, Ash! The colors are so cheerful. I am totally going to make one of these!

Where do I get a Pom pom maker and a wood round? This is the coolest idea ever.

You may have to visit your local home improvement store, then! They’re in the lumber accents section :)
I love pompom projects (last year I made 2 pompom rugs, a wreath and a garland) so I will definitely consider this wool hanging option next :) xx
This is so completely wonderful! I love making pompoms and this is such a creative way to use them (I already have too many pompom garlands dotted around my house!)
