How To Make Your Own Pompom Christmas Tree

Hey, sports fans! Today’s topic isn’t sports related, but I know that many of you love celebrating the holidays as much as you love celebrating your favorite teams. And you love a good craft project, as long as its quick and easy like this one. Right?

I’ve seen pompom trees everywhere this season, and they can be pretty expensive! So I thought I’d make a run to my local craft store, and show you how to make one yourself.

Let’s start with the supplies:

Pom poms – I bought 3 of these sets of green, red and white glitter pompoms. There were 50 in each set, in a mix of sizes. You may need more, depending on the size of your tree.
A Styrofoam cone – mine is 6″ tall.
Hot glue gun and glue sticks – you could use other types of glue, but I prefer hot glue because it sets quickly, so you don’t have to wait for it dry.

1 – Starting at the base of the cone, apply hot glue to one small section at a time, then attach large pom poms:

2 – Continue adding pom poms, working in small sections, and starting to mix in medium sized pom poms in the the second row:

3 – Add large and medium pom poms until the whole cone is covered:

4 – Use the smallest pom poms to fill in the gaps. It is easiest to apply glue directly to the pom pom before attaching it to the tree:

5 – Finish the tree by adding one large pom pom on top:

And that’s all there is to it! I love the sparkle of these glittery pom poms in traditional Christmas colors, but you could make your tree out of any colors you choose!
