Giant Pom Pom Garland

I can't believe my baby boy is 1!  How cute are these pictures of Kayden that were taken at Camera Shy?! (camershy.com)  I wanted a cute background for Kayden's smash cake pictures looked on Pinterest forever.  I'm not much of a crafter.  It seems that everything I make turns out horrible, but I came across this site, http://www.bestbirthdays.ca/2014/05/giant-pom-poms.html and decided to go for it!  These giant pom poms were so easy (once I got the hang of it) and they turned out so cute!  It gave these pictures a perfect pop of fun and I'll treasure these photos forever!

What you need:

Yarn- I got 6 balls (the fatter the ball of yarn the poofier)

A good pair of scissors

A long string of thin ribbon

-Take a long string out of the ball of yarn and cut it.  Wrap it around the middle of the ball and tie it tight.  This should make a snowman type shape.

-Cut through all the loops on one side.  Then turn over and do it to the other side.

-Grab your ball of yarn by the long string you tied.  Now you get to trim all the yarn hanging down.  Just keep cutting and cutting.  Cut from all angels, turning it around and around making the shape of a sphere.  The shorter you cut, the poofier it gets.

-Repeat these steps with each ball of yarn.

-When you've made all the balls, get a long piece of thin ribbon, take the long pieces you tied from each pom and tie them on the ribbon.

-You've just made a giant pom pom garland!
