Put some Christmas carols on and get the kids involved making all of those pom-poms for the trees (you need a lot!).

The pom-pom Christmas trees are easy to make, but the kids will need to be supervised as you need to use a hot glue gun to add the poms to the tree cones.

*Don’t forget to pin and share!*

Make Your Own Pom Pom Christmas Tree

I created the Christmas trees by making mini pom poms with a 1 inch (25mm) clover pom pom maker and used up some yarns that were hanging around in my green yarn box.

I bought the polystyrene cones from a local craft shop for around 5 euros, as an alternative to this you could make a cone from card and staple it/glue it into a cone shape.

The gold stars I used to add some bling were bought at a store in a box for around 1 euro and I only used a few of them (glitter everywhere!).

Use Up Your Yarn Stash!

You can easily create the pom poms for the tree in any color scheme that you want!

Explore the traditional greens or go for other color options to suit your own personal style.

You could also use mini poms in various colors to decorate the tree instead of using glittery stars.

This is a great way to use up your yarn stash and those leftovers you don’t know what to do with!

You Need a Whole Lot Of Pom Poms

You can get your little ones involved in making those pom-poms and if you don’t have a Clover pom-pom maker, you can make them another way – there are many tutorials on youtube.

They could also make little Christmas tree decorations to put onto the tree, from cutting out mini paper ornaments or using leftovers from other crafts.

The trees can then be displayed anywhere in your home and you can add little battery-operated lights.
