Hanging Pom Poms Galore

Pile them high, string them up. Go sparse or pack them in for full-on impact. Mix and match colours or keep your palette muted, why not try ombre poms poms too? Host a craft party and get a production line going or search for suppliers that sell them online.

Try using fishing wire, twine, string or ribbon to hang these beauties in all their glory.

Alternative Pom Pom Centrepieces

Not keen on floral centrepieces? Think about using poms instead. You could go for wool or tissue paper, they both work really well. Popping them on sticks and displaying them in jars give height. A massive cost-cutting exercise, but also pretty time-consuming.

A pom pom maker gadget is a must-have for the crafty couple. Or try making wool poms the old-fashioned way with a cardboard template.
