It goes without saying that pom poms have a special place in our hearts. We love crafting our own from scratch with yarn, but of course, we also have an ever-growing stash of storebought pom poms. They come in so handy and we can almost always find a way to involve them in a craft. They are a craft closet staple! If you too have a bunch of pom poms around, take a look at these fun crafts below and put them to good use!

This DIY mobile is out of this world! Make your very own solar system using paper, crayons, sequins, and of course pom poms!

Brunch Invitations
Who else gets eggcited about brunch? We used mini plastic frying pans (originally intended to hold appetizers) from the party store and gave them a quick coat of paint. You’re likely not hosting any big brunches at home right now that require invitations, so you could easily turn these adorable fried eggs into fridge magnets or toy food for dolls instead!

Pom Pom Ice Cream Necklaces
Summer is almost over, but that doesn’t mean our love for ice cream is slowing down! Colorful pom poms make the perfect scoops of ice cream in paper or felt cones. Use a needle and embroidery floss to turn them into necklaces or glue a safety pin on the back to make a cool brooch!

Mini Flying Saucers
Pom pom phone home! These DIY UFOs are made of plastic margarita glasses and of course pom poms! They make a fun toy or make a bunch and turn them into mobile.

Spinning Paper Ornaments
We originally crafted these spinners for the holiday season, but with a quick change of colors you can make them to suit any occasion! We think they look great hanging in the window, spinning in the breeze.
