How to Make a Pom Pom Letter R

Learn how to make a fun kids' craft with this tutorial, showing you how to make a pom pom covered letter R - perfect for a kids' room!

Begin hot gluing pompoms onto the front of the letter.
We decided to use pom poms that were all close to the same size, to give the project a uniform look despite the huge variety of colors.
You could experiment with using different-sized pom poms in your project. The result will be more eclectic when there is a range of sizes from tiny to huge.
PRO TIP: Pay attention to the colors as you're gluing, too. We tried hard to not place two of the same color next to each other because we wanted lots of variations in the colors.
Continue gluing pom poms around the front of the letter.
We used smaller pom poms to fill gaps along the edges where larger poms would have been too big.
We only added pom poms to the front surface of the letter; not the sides.
This helped the project look clean and polished.

Before you begin gluing pompoms onto the letter, number, or shape, decide if you want to leave it the natural color, or paint it. We painted our letter "R" white before we began.
Use small pompoms to fill in gaps near the edges where bigger poms wouldn't fit.
You can display your project on a shelf or hang it with one of several hanging methods like command strips, gluing a hanging string on the back, or punching a hole in the back of the letter of it is a 3D cardboard letter.
