How to Assemble a Pom-Pom Bauble

The finished pom-pom bauble.

       This ornament craft is perfect for little ones to hang on the lowest branches of a family Christmas tree. It won't break and it's soft to handle. However, it takes an older child or adult to make it, if you should use a hot glue gun as I did here.

Supply List:

  • pom-poms in rainbow colors
  • aluminum kitchen foil
  • masking tape
  • wire
  • hot glue and hot glue gun

Step-by-step instructions:

  • Crush a Christmas bauble shape using aluminum kitchen foil. Make it any size you like.
  • Twist and attach a wire for hanging the bauble and tape this on the top of your aluminum form.
  • Cover the aluminum ball completely with masking tape. This will help the glue adhere to the surfaces correctly and also protect the glue gun from contacting the metal surface and causing the project to heat up.
  • Now glue the first set of pom-poms next to each other around the middle of the bauble. (see photo)
  • Then proceed to add another row of pom-poms in a different color and so on until the entire bauble is covered.
  • Hang from the children's Christmas tree this ornament that won't break if it falls!
