INSIDE: How to quickly and easily add pom poms to a blanket throw. Easy sewing craft for home decorating and kids bedroom decor.
My 9 year old loves Pinterest! I probably shouldn’t be too surprised that she has figured out how to make boards, plan her own birthday parties and find craft ideas for when she’s bored. Needless to say, this new found skill has also given her plenty of opinions on how she wants her bedroom to be styled. Groan.
One such idea she’s presented me with is to have a cute blanket throw casually tossed across the foot of her bed. Given she’s only 9, and her style will change innumerably before she takes off for college, I’m not about to drop too much cash (or too much of my time) getting her room Pinterest-worthy!
So when I found a heavily discounted cozy blanket throw and some awesome pom pom yarn for $4, I {think} I made this picky girl Pinterest pleased!

How to Easily, Quickly Add Pom Poms to Blanket
I l-o-v-e pom poms so this was an easy project for me to undertake! And having premade pom poms makes projects even faster!
You have to buy some pre-made pom pom yarn today! It’s not only super soft but you’ll find tons of crafty things to do with it.
Supplies:
– Blanket throw
– Pom pom yarn
– Seam ripper
– Straight pins + sewing scissors
– Sewing machine
How to Use Pom Pom Yarn to Accessorize Blanket
Unravel some of the pom pom yarn. Cut off sections of the individual pom poms, leaving enough thread on each side.
Use a seam ripper to rip the seam on a small section of the blanket. Insert the individual pom pom between the layers of the blanket.
I used a ruler to space out each pom pom and secured with a straight pin. Do this around the four sides of the blanket. It actually goes faster than it sounds!
How to Make Cute and Easy Pom Pom Blanket Throw
Run the pom pom blanket through the sewing machine. Or, use a machine washable fabric glue to secure instead.
Super cute and cozy, don’t you think? Think my Pinterest-lover is happy.
Pom poms make me so happy! #smallthrills
