DIY Pom Pom Blanket

Hi friends, and welcome back. Today I`m sharing easy way to make your own pom pom blanket. This blankets are very popular and cute, but they can be price as well. I really wanted white one, but I couldn`t find it, and even if I find one I like, I didn`t want to spend that much money, so I decided to make my own.

You will need:
  1. Fleece, flannel of fabric of your choice
  2. Yarn
  3. Scissors
  4. Needle and thread
First step is to cut your fabric to size you want. Mine is 130x160 cm (50x60 inces), but you can do any size, depending on your needs.
Note: You can use any fabric you like, but if you want to skip saying edges, use fabric that doesn`t fray. 

Next step is to make a bunch of pompoms. As I said before, I wanted my blanket all white, so I used white yarn, but you can use different color yarn for your pompoms and make a colorful blanket.
Pompoms can be made in a many different ways. I will show you the way with a DIY pom pom maker.
Using a cardboard (the sturdier the better) cut out two circles exactly the same size and made a little opening on both. The larger the circle, the larger the pom pom. 
Lay the circles together and wrap the yarn around and around. Insert your scissors between the two pieces of cardboard and carefully cut around, being careful not to lose any of the yarn bits through the opening.
Using a separate piece of yarn, secure in the middle of the pom pom and tie tight to secure. 
Trim to form a nice round shape and your pompoms are ready. 
Last part is to sew the pompoms on your blanket and voila, your pom pom blanket is done!! 
I`m really happy how it turned out, looks so pretty and cute on my sofa. Now I`m gonna do my happy dance!! :D
What do you think? Do you like it?
Thank you so much for stopping by, wishing you a wonderful day!

Christmas Cotton Pom Pom Garland

Hello my beautiful friends! For those of you who are new to my blog, welcome! Today I wanted to share really interesting project! It was so easy and inexpensive to make, I thought I would share it with you.
All you will need is:
- Two 50 count bags of cotton balls
- A sewing needle
- Heavy duty thread - I used embroidery thread
- About half of hour of time
- A little patience 😉

Zdravo dragi moji prijatelji! Ako ste prvi put na mom blogu, dobro došli! Danas sam želela da sa vama podelim jedan vrlo zanimljiv projekat. Toliko je jednostavan, a troškovi su zaista zanemarljivi, da sam morala da ga podelim sa vama.
Sve što vam je potrebno je:
- Dve kesice od 50 kom. kuglica od vate
- Igla za šivenje
- Jači konac ili konac za vez
- Oko pola sata vremena
- I malo strpljenja 😉
Start by rolling every ball to make it as round as possible. Just rub them in the palms of your hands in a circular motion until they become round. (They look a little bit like marshmallow when you open the bag, so I recommend this step.)

Prvo oblikujte kuglice tako da dobiju okrugli oblik. Jednostavno ih valjajte između dlanova praveći kružne pokrete dok ne dobiju pravilan oblik. (Kuglice su pomalo kockaste kada ih izvadite iz vrećice, pa zato preporučujem da prvo to uradite da bi izgledale više okrugle.)
After that all you need to do is to thread the cotton balls onto your thread. I decided to use just one string and make one long garland, but you can cut your thread in smaller pieces and make a few garlands.

Posle toga vam ostaje samo da provlačite iglu i konac kroz kuglice i nižete svoju girlandu. Ja sam odlučila da napravim jednu dugu, a vi možete napraviti i nekoliko kraćih ako vam to više odgovara.
Special tip: It is easier to stick the needle trough the middle of the cotton ball rather then through the sides. Other way your cotton balls will start to fall apart.(Look on the photo below)

Važan savet: Kada nižete kuglice uvek nižite kroz sredinu,  a ne kroz deo sa strane. Ukoliko provlačite iglu kroz deo sa strane (onaj na kome se vidi namotaj) kuglice će početi da vam se rasturaju. 
(Ako niste razumeli, pogledajte sliku ispod)
I recommend  to tie a knot around the first and last one, just to secure them. You can space your pom-poms an inch apart, or you could push the cotton balls together (like I do) for a more solid looking garland. 

Takođe preporučujem da oko prve i poslednje vežete čvor radi sigurnosti. Možete ih razdvajati (par cm između svake) ili ih ređati gusto (kao što sam ja uradila) da biste dobili gustu girlandu.
What do you think of using everyday items in home decor?If you love it like me, I`d love to hear about your projects! 

Šta mislite o upotrebi svakodnevnih predmeta u svrhu kućnog dekora. Ako i vi volite da ih korisitite, volela bih da čujem više o vašim projektima!
