Pom Pom Christmas Tree

December 11, 2017 by Sarah Freeman

It is no secret that I am a fan of pom poms.  I looooove pom poms.  I make so many, that I often have a bunch left over - some are from garlands that didn't work out, some didn't turn out how I envisioned, and some I made for photo props.  Whatever the reason, I end up with quite a few extras.  Last year I decided to put some of these extra pom poms to good use.  We have two different Christmas trees in our house.  One is our hodge podge tree that is covered in our family ornaments that we pick each year, and the other tree is my "pretty tree" with matching ornaments.  I was getting a little tired of the gold ornaments that I had on my pretty tree, so I decided to make it a pom pom tree!

Last year's tree.

I loved my green pom pom tree, but when I found a white tree on clearance after Christmas last year, I thought that it would be perfect with pom poms!

This year's tree.

I love how the pom poms pop on this tree!  It might just need to stay up all year :)

Here's one more quick and easy Valentine's day idea for you! Remember those fun pom pom hearts we made? (You can find a link to the video tutorial in my stories under video tutorials!) Well, you can turn your cute pom poms into heart pom pom pencils! Find the center in the bottom of your heart, apply some hot glue, then sick your pencil into that glue. Make sure your pencil is stuck in the center of the pom pom as well, and hold it until it cools. These make a super cute, last minute Valentine's Day gift! .

I have a new Valentine's Day craft for you!! Tiny crochet heart earrings! You make these tiny hearts using embroidery floss and a tiny crochet hook. They make perfect earrings, pins, magnets, you name it! I made a video tutorial with the instructions (because heavens knows I'm better at telling about a crochet pattern than writing it out!). These are easy and quick, so you still have time to make some for all your Galentines! I've linked to the video in my stories! 💕

I couldn't do it. I couldn't put my bottle brush trees away after Christmas! I just love those little trees! So what did I do? I repurposed them into a Valentine Village! I did keep only the shades on pink or white trees to make it more Valentines-y, and I added some pink and red houses that I cut out with my @officialcricut. And now I have the cheeriest bottle brush Valentine tree mantle! You can check out more photos and the details on my website!

Thanks to the snow, my kids have a snow day and no school today. This is the first time since I have had kids in school (which has been seven years!) that we have had a snow day! And we live in Utah where we regularly get snow! They usually just keep schools open in snow, but it does look awful outside today. I luckily didn't have any plans today other than getting stuff done at home, but I see a day of not getting anything done now in my future with four little humans at home. 😬 Maybe we'll have some movie marathons and Valentine making today! And have you tried that snow ice cream recipe? Maybe we'll try that too! Any tips on making snow ice cream? I'm pretty good at the pom pom variety, but the snow one is new to me! 😁
