pom pom flowers

Raise your hand if you're a plant killer...


For any of you sitting on your couch with your computer in your lap and your hand in the air - this project is for you. 

I kill plants. There, I said it. 

Because of this fact, I've made it my mission to bring low (or no) maintenance "plants" into our home. I've made paper flowers, knit cacti... and now these: pom pom flowers! 

This project was as simple as collecting a few sticks from our backyard, making a few pom poms with some fluffy yarn, and hot glueing them together.


My husband actually gave me the idea to add little "buds" to some of them. I simply knotted my yarn a few times, cut off any excess yarn and then hot glued them on to the sticks where I had trimmed off other small branches.


These simple pom pom flowers help bring "life" into our home while maintaining my "low (no) maintenance" approach.


What do you think? I like how they bring a little bit of added color to our entertainment center. No watering needed.
