Beachy Pom Pom Wall Hanging
Create a pom pom project without actually making the pom poms! Use pom pom yarn to create an effortless and beautiful beach wall hanging. This tutorial features a kite-like wall decoration perfect for the summer home. Hang it near a window so it gets plenty of light and really pops! Use shades of blue pom pom yarn to create a lovely and nautical effect. A pale starfish is the perfect finishing touch. This is a fantastic home decor project for beginners, and it works up so much more quickly than if you were hand making all the pom poms yourself.
From Red Heart: If you love pompoms, but would rather not make them, this is the yarn for you! Pompoms come already attached to the base string and ready for crafty fun.
We used a starfish as an embellishment at the top of the hanging--but you could use any shells you have collected.
