Decorate pillows and a place to put your feet. Tack pom-poms onto a plain pillow cover. Treat your tootsies to a soft landing spot by covering an old wood ottoman with a cloud of pom-poms.

 

Pillow decorated with pom-poms

Upgrade a soft pillow with pom-poms. They add charisma while helping this oversize accessory stay put. Yarn in a confetti-like mix adds rainbow color to handmade poms.

What You’ll Need

 

Decorated pillow

See the basic steps to making pom-poms here.
Make four 3” size poms.

Tip: If you don’t have access to dip-dyed yarn and you don’t want to dip-dye it yourself, you can create this confetti look by just adding in a single loop around the crème color of the accent pops of color that you want. There’s no need to tie off when you switch colors, just wrap in a few at intervals and cut, and then keep wrapping with cream yarn.
