Once you have your poms lined out, you will need to take a very long piece of thread to start stringing them together. (I make my thread, doubled)<\/p>\n<p>3. The first pom, will need to be sewn so it doesn&#8217;t fall off the thread (secure it with a knot).<\/p>\n<p>4. String 3-6 yarn poms together.\u00a0 At the end of the group, knot it again to secure grouping in place.\u00a0 Leave approx 2&#8243; space on empty thread, and then create another grouping of poms.<\/p>\n<p>5. Repeat these steps until you have the length of the banner you would like.<\/p>\n<p>6. If you run out of thread, knot it to the pom, and start another strand of thread.<\/p>\n<p>7. Once the poms are sewn in place, you need a long piece of yarn for more stability.<\/p>\n<p>8. Take the piece of yarn (leaving excess on each end so you can tie to something) and place along your line of poms.<\/p>\n<p>9. Each pom needs to be tied to the long yarn.\u00a0 I just take two strands from the pom and tie to the yarn.\u00a0 If your strands are too short to do this, than use a piece of thread and tie the pom to the yarn.\u00a0 (you can hide the thread easily in the yarn pom).<\/p>\n<p>10. When you get to the empty space of thread in between pom clusters, take the yarn and twist in and out of the thread so they are somewhat wrapped together &#8211; just helps for stability, and so the thread doesn&#8217;t break.<\/p>\n<p>11.\u00a0 Keep tying the poms along the long strand of yarn until you are done.<\/p>\n<p>12. Tie your yarn pom to the dowl rods &#8211; we used tiny pins and nailed the pom banner to the top of the dowl rods so they wouldn&#8217;t slide off the rods.<\/p>\n<p>13. Add two mini pennant banners along top and bottom of the rods for extra fun!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We used duct tape to add the rods to the back of the dresser below&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/birthday-parties\/ruff-draft-diy-yarn-pom-banner\/attachment\/img_9780\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12200\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12200\" src=\"http:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_9780-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"yarn pom on beach\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You really can&#8217;t see the thread\u00a0 that strings the banner together&#8230; up close maybe a little bit, but not far away!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/birthday-parties\/ruff-draft-diy-yarn-pom-banner\/attachment\/img_0359\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12198\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12198\" src=\"http:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0359-640x960.jpg\" alt=\"fixing poms\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0359-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0359-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0359-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0359-790x1185.jpg 790w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0359-57x85.jpg 57w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0359.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/birthday-parties\/ruff-draft-diy-yarn-pom-banner\/attachment\/img_0324\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12197\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12197\" src=\"http:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0324-640x960.jpg\" alt=\"pom banner holding it up\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0324-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0324-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0324-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0324-790x1185.jpg 790w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0324-57x85.jpg 57w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0324.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/baby-showers\/11311\/\">Monogram Baby Shower<\/a> for more photos of how we used DIY Poms for party decor.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.andersruff.com\/baby\/gender-neutral-baby-shower-printables\">Monogram Baby Shower Collection<\/a> is available in our <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.andersruff.com\/index.php?route=common\/home\">new shop<\/a>!!!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Love yarn poms?\u00a0 Leave us a message and share with others!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember the DIY yarn poms we showed you how to make a few weeks ago?\u00a0 Well, we have been getting questions about how we made our yarn pom banners&#8230; we are going to tell you how today!
