Pom pom flowers
Do you remember making pom poms as a child? I used to love it and have fond memories of making various things from pom poms, hence we have been trying a variety of pom pom activities here over the last few weeks. I particularly like these pom pom flowers we made, they were so simple, they look great and it is going to be a fantastic mothers day gift for my mother in law.

You need:
- Wool in various colours
- A vase or bottle or something to put the finished flowers in (we used a soap dispenser)
- Scissors
- Pom pom maker or card
- Sticks/skewers
- Glue
How to make a vase of pom pom flowers for mothers day
- Make some pom poms using the colours of your choice. We used two different sized pom pom makers which are very cheap to buy, or you can wrap wool round some card. Here is a good post on how to make pom poms if you need some more guidance. We also used two different colours in most of our pom poms to give more texture.
- Place each pom pom on the end of a skewer or stick (or you could also use a pipe cleaner), then glue in place to ensure it remains secure.
- Arrange the pom pom flowers in a vase. You may need to cut some of the sticks down a little, so each flower is of differing heights, this creates the best look.
- Decorate the vase with a tag. We cut out some hearts and tied it to our vase using some string.
I really love these pom pom flowers in a vase and I can’t wait to for my children to give them to Nana for mothers day. I think it would also make a lovely thank you, birthday or get well soon gift too.
The children enjoyed making the flowers, especially the cutting of the wool on the pom pom maker for some reason and trimming all the straggly bits off. They look so engrossed in the pictures. It’s a fab craft for kids and a lovely gift to give!
Making pom poms is a lot of fun. This year we made a Christmas tree using three different sized pompoms.

My kids love making pom poms, but I’ve never thought about making flowers before. Thank you so much for the great tip. #Letkidsbekids
Pom moms are always good fun, so it’s great to turn them into a nice gift
These look so pretty! And they definitely make a perfect handmade gift for Mothers Day.

Love this! I always love pompoms as they remind me of my hair accessories when I was a kid! Will try to do this as we are missing the pompoms in my son’s hat!
Thank you, yes, pom pom hair accessories is a good idea!
I loved making pompoms as a kid but have to admit I cant remember how to make them! These look great though and will have lots of fun making pompoms with Monkey when he is a bit older I think! Xx
Pom poms are just one of those things you have to try at some point in childhood!
I had no clue how to make these – and my kids will love doing them! off to pin too!

That is a good idea, I have been thinking of pom pom chicks for Easter but not thought of flowers before! #letkidsbekids
