Easter egg pom stir sticks

how to make poms, how to make easter egg poms, easter egg poms, easter egg brunch stir sticks, brunch decor, easy easter brunch decor, easter brunch ideas

I love poms and I love Easter and I love beverages (like allll the beverages: coffee, wine, bloody marys….) So these Easter egg pom stir sticks are just the ticket to add an extra punch of color and fun for our Easter brunch this year! Annnnnd today I am going to show you how wildly easy and fun they are to make.

The idea of these Easter egg pom stir sticks is EASY: Make a pom in your fave Easter colors and then trim it to look like an egg. From my years of making poms, trimming is really what makes a pom a pom. We’ve all seen poms that are janky and uneven or not quite “right”…..I have learned that poms are ALLLLLL in the trimming (or mostly anyway). And my trick to making the perfect pom is a *TRIM GUIDE*. 

What is a trim guide you ask? Well, it’s a paper (or wooden or cardboard) guide that helps you trim the pom to it’s perfect form. Basically, once your pom is finishing being wrapped and tied and clipped, you will use this guide to form it into the perfect shape by “squishing” the guide to the pom and trimming around the edges. (Don’t worry if this doesn’t make sense, I give a full visual tutorial below)! 🙂
So take this note for THIS pom project and any other future pom projects, that a trim guide is going to make your pom go from cute to WOAH in it’s shape and appeared density! 🙂

Supplies:

Yarn (I used my new fave, Omegacryl)
A pom maker
Embroidery floss to tie the poms
Very small wooden dowels or wooden BBQ skewers cut in 1/2
SHARP scissors
Pom trim guide (print off HERE)

Instructions:

  1. Wrap your yarn around your preferred pom maker
    I am using the one that I made (I used to make poms from kitchen forks when I was a kid, so I made this one to resemble my childhood learning). And I chose to do a 3 color block as if they eggs were dip dyed.

NOTE: Play around with how much yarn to wrap. With my thin Omegacryl yarn, and the size of pom maker I was using, 90 wraps was a great number which ended up being 30 wraps of each color. If using thicker yarn, less wrapping is necessary. Do a few test runs and aim to find a number that is dense enough to hold a shape, but not too dense that makes it impossible to trim down.

2. Tie off the pom + clip ends
Using embroidery floss (and the specifics from your preferred pom maker) tie off the pom from the pom maker, slip it off the maker and then clip the loop ends.

Note: Why embroidery floss? I have found that this is one of the stronger strings to tie a pom with. Waxed thread also works wonderful as well! 🙂 

3. Use the trim guide!
Print off this trim guide and use it to trim around the edges of the pom to make the egg shape! I printed this guide, cut out the egg shape and then traced them to cardboard so that the trim guide was more “substantial” to use when trimming MANY eggs for the stir sticks. 
Basically you will be pinching the trim guide on top of the untrimmed pom and using it as a guide to “cut” around

Trim tips:
*Start slow. Don’t trim off too much at one time or you will end up with a flat edge. Take it slow and keep trimming small amounts
*When you are using your scissors, keep moving in the shape of the egg as you are cutting (ie, don’t just make small straight cuts but rather cut and move the scissors as the same time to follow the shape and make longer, smooth trims)

4. Assemble stir stick
Using your wooden dowels or skewers (if using skewers, make sure to cut them in 1/2 so that they aren’t so long), simply stab the egg into the skewer so that it sticks to the top of the dowel. It is optional to add a dab of hot glue to try and get the egg to stay more permanently.

And the best part about these eggs is that you can make them all one color, you can speckle them, you could color block them, ORRR you could even color coordinate them to use them as drink makers for people OR to denote which drinks are what if serving different recipes! 🙂

HAPPY Easter egg pom making AND a giant HAPPY SPRING! 🙂

Adding color and lots of little personalities and Adding color and lots of little personalities and faces to our weekend. Because love wins and death is conquered….so yes, this is for sure how we celebrate🎉 
Also, every time I cracked an egg this weekend, I squealed in the sound or noise that I thought the personality of the egg would sound 😂😂😂 obvi.
I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over i I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over if I could! 😂
Also, yes, this is clearly a @claussenpicklesofficial because duh, they are the best! ❤️

The alternate caption could also be “yup…..it’s a Valentine pickle. Because my kids are obsessed with vinegar soaked veggies. Just swipe for the Halloween pickle proof 🥒 “
For the record, I got approximately zero adulting For the record, I got approximately zero adulting things done while constructing this cardboard @encantomovie Casita of my daughters dreams. Except of course inserting many phrases in place of the “we don’t talk about Bruno” song…..ya know, “we don’t talk about dishes no no nooooo. We don’t talk about laundryyyyyy.” 🏠 🎨 💛 
Also, the minute the hot glue was dry, Esther picked up the Casita, hugged it and ran it to the living room where she played most of the afternoon. A moment of Mom win to warm my heart 😭❤️
“May you find the light that guides you home” “May you find the light that guides you home” 
One of my fave song + fave yearly progression that makes me allll happy and sappy. Merry Christmas 🎄 I hope you’re finding light this holiday season!
If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllio If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllion more times: I LOVE PAINNNTTTTT! Here’s the thing……paint is always, 100% paint-overable. If you paint something, step back, live with it for while but just doesn’t feel right…..simply paint over it. Like really that simple. 
I’ve done this a handful of times in our own home….bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways (like so many times in the hallways 😂)! 
Painting to me is a slight reflection of life: nothing is perfect, and even when mistakes or missteps feel overwhelming they are always worth fixing and usually fixable annnnnd it’s amazing how much a  small moment can bring big joy…..or in this case a big moment on a biiigggg wall 🎉🎨
I am doing my last restock of these little nutcrac I am doing my last restock of these little nutcracker buddies tonight at 7pm (central time)! So if you’ve had your eyes on them, especially after seeing them in @hgtvmagazine (gahhhhhhh, still can’t get over this), then be sure to find yourself in my shop tonight at 7pm central!
Even thought I had alllll the intentions of postin Even thought I had alllll the intentions of posting this sooner, I make no apologies because I don’t like living in the land of the “shoulddas”. Especially during this season of intentional slowing down and anticipating the arrival of Christmas. 
Download this coloring advent village and take a few min away to color each house and talk about the season and the way you can shine light! 
PS, download the file on my blog amongst the other holiday themed doodles coloring sheets…..AND we printed our village in gargantuan size from Staples….(their engineer print) and I am not one but mad about the fact that it will take up nearly half a wall! 😂 ❤️🎄
Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full of hot glue burns and can honestly say it makes me happy. Like so thankful and happy! 
Okkayyy well maybe not the burns themselves but the fact that I’m over here, in my little studio space in Wisconsin crafting my heart out and you’re sending the love right back to me with all the support! Support for the doodles and painting and costumes and sewing and other colorful things that I’m eager to share! 
SO thankful. Like I’d really love to give you all a humongous big hug right now. 

And for all the online shoppers this weekend, use code YAYcreatives for 20% off everything in my shop through Monday night. Including these happy Colorful felt trees! (I meannnnn, look at their personality 😂😍)
