Spring Bed Garland D.I.Y. Project

I made a fun garland for the top of my bed frame this weekend and I wanted to share this quick & easy project for DIY Monday. Hope you enjoy... 

Step 1: I purchased some pretty flower light from Michael's (Martha Stewart brand). You can use any sort of twinkle lights for this project. 

Step 2: Wrap the lights around your bedframe (or hang them in another area of your home. Secure them with hidden pieces of duck tape. 

Step 3: Wrap yarn around the area.. it adds a little extra security and color! 

Step 4: Make pom-poms and tie them to your garland. So cute. If you've never made pom-poms before, here's how to make them with a pom-pom maker! 

*making pom-poms is easy as pie. simply wrap both sides of the plastic pieces with yarn, cut the yarn around the shape and tie them together with a piece of embroidery floss in a matching color (i prefer to use embroidery floss over yarn because it's easier to get a super tight knot!). trim the stray pieces and ta-da!  

hooray. it's simple and sweet. i'm happy to have a little extra color and a cute handmade night-light. :)

 
suki loves them too! XXOO. elsie

Must be cute to gaze at pom-poms before falling asleep. :D I'm going to try this as soon as my clutzy hands figure it out... (the pompom thing)

Those pillows and Suki are adorable! Thanks for sharing. :)

seriously loving your bed.
We are about to move. I can't wait to redecorate.

I have NEVER heard about a pom-pom maker. I learned how to make them with regular household items! like cardboard. I could totally make a cute DYI with it! I know a lot of ppl don't have a pom-pom maker.

I've never known there's such a thing as pom pom maker o_O
Always used two round pieces of cardboard with a hole in the middle. How interesting someone's made a real tool for that!

And I love that garland.

Your garland is really pretty, and so is Suki of course :)

[Michelle Clement]

Oooh - cute DIY! :) and how adorable is your little Suki?? he he. Too cute!

That's so pretty. I LOVE lights like that, and those little Chinese lanterns, but the plugs are situated in weird places in my apartment, so I can never have them turned on without a big honkin ugly extension cord attached. These are really nice, though, maybe I can make someone else do this and live vicariously through them.

now i need a pom pom maker!!!

by the way, my pugs (Yuka and Yoda) think Suki is adorable!

[Angela]

I really need to know your wall color. Have you posted it anywhere?

Great idea! I have a bag full of pom poms that I made over the holidays and haven't figured out what to use them for yet.
