In an effort to get out of the post-holiday funk that’s going on around here, I thought I’d jump right in an do a little Valentine’s day decorating! It’s always nice to see some bright fun color added to our space in this cold cold time of winter.
I picked up some pom poms in various sizes and threaded them on lengths of some transparent thread. Just tied a knot in the bottom and threaded the pom poms on with a needle and tried to evenly space them. Then I taped each strand to the trim at the top of the window (not fancy I know, but it works and it’ll only be up for a little bit anyway).
I think these would be fun to do in any window for any season, it’s fun, modern looking, and adds a little extra special touch. This would be a great project to try with an older child who is fairly comfortable with a needle!
Now the tricky part will be to keep the little hands and a wagging dog tail away from it…
Absolutely LOVE-ly!!
Cuuuuute! Bright and cheery – would look good against all the darn snow we have here!
Cute, cute, cute, Anna – I love this!!!
Sooo cute Anna!!:) At least you’ll be smiling when you’re looking out the window at all the snow!:)
This is so super cute!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!! I must do this!! Hmmm, do I have a window out of reach from grabbing hands? I think I do!
LOVE it! So simple, and so fun! :o)
Simple and super cute! My kind of project. Great idea, Anna! We have a big picture window in our living room and this would look awesome!
I LOVE this idea! Thank you for sharing! My boys will love helping me create one for our window.

What a simple but lovely idea! Off to find some pom-poms now ๐

This is just so adorable.

So adorable! Thanks for sharing something quick and easy – we probably all need a little break after the holidays!
This is so cute and totally festive. My kids would love this!!!
i love this – the hot pink and red are so perfect! Thanks for sharing! ๐
Ya know, I bought something like this but they were white pom poms and I know I could have made it but didn’t have the time. I am so glad to hear others are not paying out the nose ($25 for a much smaller version) like I did. Thank you for the instructions. I need to make mine bigger for a larger window. ๐
I don’t get much time to jump around blogs these days, but yours is always going to be my favorite. ๐ Thank you for always sharing awesome ideas like this.
What an adorable idea – And in my favorite color PINK! Thanks for sharing.
Just signed up to follow your blog. I’ve actually been following for 6 mo or so. I’ve made so many neat things from your tutorials. Thanks for sharing all these neat ideas.
What a fun idea! These pom poms look like polka dots to me, so I posted about your project on my polka dotted blog!

I love it! I’ve got a baby shower Sunday and I think these, in various shades of blue, would make a fabulous backdrop to the dessert table! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love, love, love this idea! Our home is definitely feeling the post-holiday “blahs” too. This is a perfect solution!
So pretty!

this cheered me up and it isn’t even in my window. great idea!
This is so beautiful! Anna…you are a creative genius.
What a great idea. I’ve done it with feathers before, but really like the pom poms. Thanks for the inspiration.

Any idea o clue on how to do those pom poms???
Thanks! It’s lovely. Gracias
hi anonymous, not sure if this is what you’re asking, but they’re store bought pom poms and they just slide on to the thread with a needle and stay in place…
I just found this, and it’s suck a cute idea. It’d cheer things up around here, as well. Thank you!
This is a very cute idea. I wish I could do this but I’ll bet the minute I turn my back, the cat will start attacking the pom-poms!
came over from samstermommy…love this! i wanted to do something similar, so punched circles out of cardstock and hung from ribbon.
how much would you say this cost to do for all the pom balls?
Very cool idea, I am loving it.
I totally made these with my daughter and she loved them. Thanks so much for the idea!
I love that! How adorable!
Tricia
Love it! But our cats would destroy this in about 5 minutes.
Wouldn’t this be pretty at Christmas with white and silver pom poms? Darling idea and thanks for sharing!!
This is so much fun! I actually featured it on my blog as part of my Fabulous Finds Craft and Recipe Round-Up: Valentine’s Edition! Just thought you’d like to know, and thanks for the awesome idea!

Love this & just wanted to let you know I included it in my Ultimate Valentine’s Guide! http://danimariedesigns.blogspot.com/2012/01/101-valentines-day-ideas-2012-ultimate.html
I was loving this, and then it hit me that the dog and kitten would destroy it in less than a minute… and then I read your last sentence about the dog! Maybe next year our kitten won’t be climbing the walls, literally. I can hope, right?!
Wow this is so cute! You did a great job! I know there is a seller on Etsy named Adoruhbulcreations who does heart pom pom garlands. I bet she could sell you just the hearts as well! So sweet of you to do this with your daughter!<3
This is so cute!! I’m going to feature it later today when I post Valentine resources for families with preschoolers!
So easy and amazingly cute!!! Thanks!
классно, очень понравилась идея :)) забираю в копилочку
Hi where do i get the pom poms??????
what are the size of the pom poms??
any craft store, Hobby Lobby, Hancock Fabrics, Michaels, Joanns. They vary in size, but about the size of a quarter, use whatever size you’d like though! ๐
Love love!!!!!!!!!!
This is such a cute decoration idea for Valentine’s Day! I hope it’s okay, I have just finished a Valentine’s Day crafts round-up and have featured your cute garland. You can see it here:
