So the DIY is for the center row image on the left, the adorable fabric pom. It’s SO freaking cute, I only wish I had thought of it myself. Plus, it’s like…ridiculously easy. Here’s the goods:

Materials:

1-2 yards of ribbon in various tones, about 2″-3″ in width
Miscellaneous material, such as burlap, knit sweaters, etc…
Twine

ribbon pom diy

1. Cut several pieces of ribbon in 3″-5″ increments, depending upon desired size of your finished pom. Do the same with material, sweaters and burlap.

2. Make a large stack, alternating each color and type of material. Using your twine, tie a very tight knot around the center of the entire stack.

3. Cut your ribbon into smaller strips, keeping the center uncut. Separate and pull strips apart to make your completed pom!

    All of today's posts have been absolutley stunning and so inspiring! This all makes me want to go home and do my gift wrapping tonight, but alas, I'm taking my gifts home in carry-on luggage and can't wrap until we're on the ground.

    Thanks so much to you and Summer for sharing all this beauty with us!

My whole look is outdoor/winery/garden anthropoligie anyways, and I think something like this would look fabulous. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

  16. Wonderful post. One of my favourites on SMP yet! I was totally inspired by this post to wrap all my Christmas presents this year in brown paper, linen, lace, net and twine. They're the cutest gifts I've ever wrapped. Thank you! And Happy Holidays to ya'll :-)

  17. Love it!!! What a great way to re-use all the remnant?!

  18. Katie says:

    these are great! I've recently started making different wrapping from Vintage paper. It always turns out so cute! Another great idea is to tea stain and hand stamp some muslin ribbon and tie it around.

  19. I love this great idea! All of your jobs are great. I like every style in the pics.
