No worries if you haven’t learned how to make wool pom poms. Just hop on over to our DIY Wool Pom Poms blog. Or look online for a wide selection of colors and sizes.
Materials:
- Assortment of ½” diameter Felted Wool Pom Poms (about 36 per coaster)
- Little Makers 4 pack Circle Canvases
- Glue Gun
Directions:
STEP 1: Place a dot of glue in the middle of your canvas coaster and then press your first pom pom firmly down on the hot glue dot. Hold the pom pom down until the glue cools slightly and the pom pom stays in place.
STEP 2: Select your next 4 pom poms, then place a line of hot glue on the canvas circle.
Hold them all firmly down, tightly together against the first pom pom. Allow the glue to cool a bit so that the 4 pom poms are securely attached to each other.
STEP 3: Select 2 more pom poms to complete the middle portion of the coaster, forming a flowerlike shape. Place a line of hot glue on the canvas circle and press the 2 pom poms into place, holding firmly until the glue has cooled a bit.
STEP 4: Continue connecting pom poms side by side until you have the canvas circle almost completely covered. To finish the last row, place a bead of glue onto one pom pom at a time to carefully press against the row of pom poms you just glued on. Each pom pom will rest partially on the canvas circle, pressed against a pom pom, and partially off, which will mostly hide the canvas underneath.
STEP 5: Let your first coaster dry while you complete the rest of your set.
