I made a fun garland for the top of my bed frame this weekend and I wanted to share this quick & easy project for DIY Monday. Hope you enjoy…
Step 1: I purchased some pretty flower light from Michael's (Martha Stewart brand). You can use any sort of twinkle lights for this project.
Step 2: Wrap the lights around your bedframe (or hang them in another area of your home. Secure them with hidden pieces of duck tape.
Step 3: Wrap yarn around the area.. it adds a little extra security and color!
Step 4: Make pom-poms and tie them to your garland. So cute. If you've never made pom-poms before, here's how to make them with a pom-pom maker!
*making pom-poms is easy as pie. simply wrap both sides of the plastic pieces with yarn, cut the yarn around the shape and tie them together with a piece of embroidery floss in a matching color (i prefer to use embroidery floss over yarn because it's easier to get a super tight knot!). trim the stray pieces and ta-da!
hooray. it's simple and sweet. i'm happy to have a little extra color and a cute handmade night-light. 🙂
suki loves them too! XXOO. elsie

Must be cute to gaze at pom-poms before falling asleep. 😀 I’m going to try this as soon as my clutzy hands figure it out… (the pompom thing)
Pom-pom makers exist??? I had no idea. I need to get one!
Those pillows and Suki are adorable! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
i’m totally in love with your house now! ^^
Awwww!! I love your room, the garland is so cute, the MrLarson cushion is adorable and that pup is to die for! Im having a cute-overload moment!
Ok, so I was loving the post, and then I got to the last picture, THATS the cutest.
we need a nighttime shot of them on! <3
seriously loving your bed.
We are about to move. I can’t wait to redecorate.
I have NEVER heard about a pom-pom maker. I learned how to make them with regular household items! like cardboard. I could totally make a cute DYI with it! I know a lot of ppl don’t have a pom-pom maker.
I’ve never known there’s such a thing as pom pom maker o_O
Always used two round pieces of cardboard with a hole in the middle. How interesting someone’s made a real tool for that!
And I love that garland.
Your garland is really pretty, and so is Suki of course 🙂
Oooh – cute DIY! 🙂 and how adorable is your little Suki?? he he. Too cute!
That’s so pretty. I LOVE lights like that, and those little Chinese lanterns, but the plugs are situated in weird places in my apartment, so I can never have them turned on without a big honkin ugly extension cord attached. These are really nice, though, maybe I can make someone else do this and live vicariously through them.
now i need a pom pom maker!!!
by the way, my pugs (Yuka and Yoda) think Suki is adorable!
I really need to know your wall color. Have you posted it anywhere?
Adorable project. Even more adorable picture at the end of your puppy! Great composition, totally a framer.
haha! Suki is too cute next to this gorgeous wall colour!
Well done!

Oh I’m gonna try this to our iron beds! It looks lovely. My hubby hand forged our bed frame and I painted it black, so white garlands will be the perfect. Thanks! ♥
