Valentine’s day is less than two weeks away; so it’s time to finish up our beautiful Valentines inspired pillow project! This post will help you add the perfect pom-pom edging to your pillow project!
Supplies:
1. A complete front panel, you can find my completed Valentines graphs here and here!
2. A complete back panel, you can find my back panel here!
3. Worsted Weight Yarn in the color of your choice for the Pom-Pom edging.
4. Pillow Form; match to completed panel size.
5. Yarn Needle
6. Scissors
7. (Optional) Pom-Pom Maker; you can find the Pom-Pom maker I used here.
I’ve been looking for the perfect opportunity to pull out my newest Pom-Pom maker and loved the idea of a soft and sweet Pom-Pom pillow edging. While a Pom-Pom maker is not required for this project; I do feel it helps speed the process. The first part of this post, show how I created creat my Pom-Poms followed by instructions on for attaching them.
Tiny Pom-Pom Tutorial:
This project would look beautiful in a varied of pom-pom sizes, but I opted to use a maker that creates 1-inch pom-poms. 
To start your pom-pom, you will need to open the pom-pom maker (pic 1), wrap the first half-circle (pic 2), and fold the first side closed.
In one continuous string, you will turn the pom-pom maker and wrap the other half-circle (pic 1), and fold closed. Once closed, you will cut your yarn and rotate the pom-pom maker to insert your scissor tip into the cutting guide (pic 3). Carefully cut all the way around the middle of the pom-pom maker.
Cut a long strand of yarn from your skein and thread it through the middle of your pom-pom maker (pic 2). Once threaded, you will tie the tails together in a knot to secure the pom-pom.
After tying off your pom-pom, you will carefully open the half-circles of the pom-pom maker (pic 1); and then separate the middle to release the pom-pom (Pic 2). Once complete, you will want to fluff and trim your pom-pom into a rounded shape.
Pom-Pom Edging Tutorial:
Once you have completed a batch of pom-poms you are ready to begin attaching them to one of your pillow panels. For this project, I opted to attach my pom-poms to the back panel of my pillow. 
To attach my pom-poms, I used a crochet hook to pull through one tail of each pom-pom and knotted it securely to the panel. 
For my edging, I started with a white pom-pom in each corner and roughly estimated how far apart I wanted them to be. I opted to alternate the colors of my pom-pom edging; which meant I had to pay attention to the repeating pattern and distance to make sure the colors matched up correctly. For ease, you could opt to do a single color pom-pom edging. Continue to attach to your pom-poms along all four edges of your back panel.
Once you finish attaching all of your pom-poms you will sew your pillow together. For this step, you will line up your two panels and tuck your pom-pom tails in between. TIP: For more security, you may weave in your pom-pom tails.
To close my pillow, I sewed three sides together before stuffing and sewing it shut. For more information on how I do this; check out my finishing touches tutorial from October.
