Summer DIY Pom Pom Throw — A quick, simple and wonderfully colorful DIY Pom Pom Throw Blanket that is perfect for chilly summer nights spent outside.
I’m all for a quick throw blanket that you can toss in your bag for nights on the beach, evening gatherings with friends, awkward flights next to someone you hope doesn’t talk to you for four hours nonstop. (Was that too honest?)
And I’m especially for anything that adds a touch of summer color to the living room. This lightweight Summer DIY Pom Pom Throw is just what you need for all of the above.
Bonus — it’s super inexpensive to make.
I’ve pretty much been sticking with white, golds, and a few natural woods with spots of color here and there for the studio.
Plus, it just happens that pom poms also closely resemble polka dots. Basically, I’m just winning left and right with this little project.
But I solemnly swear to limit my amount of mid work day naps..
P.S. How awesome are the white leather desk chairs Wayfair provided for the studio? I can’t wait to show you the finished tour!
Materials Needed To Make A Summer DIY Pom Pom Throw Blanket
- Lightweight throw (I used this one from West Elm)
- Hot glue or fabric glue
- Pom pom trim in the colors of your choice
- Scissors
How To Make A Summer DIY Pom Pom Throw
Begin by gluing one strip of trim along the edge of your placemat with either hot glue or fabric glue.
Adhering just a few inches at a time and then, pressing firmly in place.
To make the next row, repeat the process and overlay the second layer of trim just over the first to make sure the poms are tightly placed together.
Repeat for all of the rows you’d like to include.
this article is great. Keep on writing informative articles. Thanks
Woaw….tht looks beauty… But I come from Australia.. pompom lace costs a bomb… hopefully get it cheap somewhere online
Very helpful post. I prefer longer posts and I like to explain everything from scratch. Thank you for sharing.
SO happy you loved the DIY !
I LOVE this! This is exactly the inspiration I was looking for to do pom fringe curtains in my family room! I do have a question – what size pom fringe did you use?
Has anyone done this yet and washed it?? I would really love to try it, but i know ill need to wash it.
Is this washable? Won’t the glue come off?
Wow! It’s gorgeous!
Does the glue hold up with washing? It’s a lovely throw!
Love it !!!!!
