At Easter, decorate the house with soft and colorful ornaments made from pompoms

Whenever you have a leftover ball of wool, it is always a good idea to store it somewhere for another day. In addition to reusing it for colorful crochet or knitting jobs, it can in fact, be useful for some creative DIY projects.

The leftover wool, in fact, is perfect to recycle to create soft pompoms, of many different sizes, and with a little skill, you can even create shapes that are more complex than a simple sphere. And you can join several wool pompoms together, or use them together with other objects to transform them into all sorts of fun decorations, including those for Easter. Animals of various kinds that you can display as you like, but also unique wreaths to hang up. Check out the ideas below!

Irina Cosarciuc – DIY Cute Pom-Pom Easter Chicks

To create a pompom, you will need to have two cardboard circles (with a hole in the middle of them) of the same size and a pair of scissors. After wrapping the circles with the wool (by passing the yarn through the center hole), you just need to cut all the wool wrapping around the outside of the circles of cardboard by cutting right through the yarn with the scissors. At that point, wrap and tie another piece of the same thread between the two pieces of cardboard to secure the pompom. Remove the pieces of paper and you will find yourself holding a soft pompom in the color you want.

The dimensions of the pompom can be changed according to the diameter of the cardboard circles you use at the start. And you can also then cut (almost shave) the wool ends in order to obtain an egg shape, for example!

By joining two pompoms together (even those with different colors), you can replicate the body of adorable bunnies, which you will perhaps finish off by adding felt ears.

Chicks and bunnies of any color can be customized with various details, such as googly eyes.

There are those who put pompoms on a wooden clothes peg, which are then painted and decorated to become the heads and legs of various animals such as sheep, pigs, chickens and more.

And you can use this technique to create cute little birds, perfect for Easter decorations.

Paired with an egg carton, colorful birds made from wool pompoms are very cute.

And why not make a whole wreath with colorful pompoms? One of them (which is white and in contrast to the other colors used), could become the bunny who is diving into all this colorful softness.

There are also those who manage to use pompoms to create works of art using wreaths as a framework!
