How to Make a Pom Pom Pillow
It’s a warm and cozy time of the year and I have wanted to make a pom pom pillow for quite some time. I found this chenille yarn and really loved making these.
One of my favorite crafts is a DIY pillow. I share one at least once a month, if not more. Once you master the art of making pom poms (which isn’t hard) you will be able to make a pom pom pillow for yourself.
In case you are wondering where I got this idea, I have seen some pillows like this online quite often. But can I just say that all of the pom pom pillows that I really like are kinda expensive!
Besides, I love crafting, and anytime I can make something that I like I am very happy.
In case you saw my stories, I did buy this yarn originally to make a cozy blanket. But, after trying three different crochet stitches with a hook that was way too big (S-19), I decided to try something else.
I made the pom poms while watching the National Championship football game and should have paid attention because I made way too many! Oh well, I have a feeling I will find a way to use these to make something else.

- Based on the size of your pillow cover, determine the layout of the pom poms and how many you estimate you will need.
- Open the pom pom holder and put it in the position to make a pom pom.
- Wrap each side with yarn.
- Close the pom pom maker and cut the yarn down the middle of the pom pom maker, all the way around.
- Tie a thin piece of yarn snugly through the area where you cut the yarn. Secure it with a double knot.
- Open the pom pom amaker and release the pom pom..
- Fluff the pom pom and cut any of the yarn pieces that are too long.
- Lay out the pom poms and cut off any long yarn pieces you used to tie the pom pom. Attach the pom poms to the pillow with a needle and thread or glue. You can use fabric glue or a glue gun. Just know that this is a decorative pom pom pillow will not wash easily. I will not wash mine!
- I used a hot glue gun and I added lots of glue to the bottom of the pom pom and pressed the pom pom firmly on the pillow cover.
