How to Make DIY Bomb Pop Garland
Step 1: Cut the pool noodles into even sections for each color. You’ll need one piece of red, white, and blue foam for each popsicle. Try to keep the sizes consistent so the final pieces look neat.
Step 2: Hold a popsicle stick and start placing the foam pieces onto it, stacking them one by one to form the layered popsicle shape. Make sure the colors are aligned properly as you build the stack.
Step 3: Once all the pieces are stacked, apply glue along the edges where the foam pieces meet. Press them together firmly so they stay in place and form a solid shape.
Step 4: Add rickrack trim along the edges, especially where the layers meet. This helps give the popsicle a clean, finished look and also hides any uneven edges.
Step 5: Stick the mini star cutouts onto the blue section of each popsicle. Space them out evenly so the design looks balanced and festive.
Step 6: Using a pointed tool or scissors, carefully make two small holes at the top of each popsicle, on the red section.
Step 7: Take your jute twine and pass it through the holes of each popsicle, one by one. Slide them along the twine and space them evenly to form the garland.
Step 8: Once all the pieces are attached, adjust the spacing and let everything settle so the garland hangs evenly.
Tips for Best Results
Make sure the foam pieces are pressed tightly when stacking so they don’t shift. Adding the trim not only improves the look but also helps cover any rough edges.
When making the holes, keep them even on each piece so the garland hangs straight.
How to Use Your Garland
Hang the garland across a wall, mantel, or table setup to create a bright and festive display. It works well for parties, themed events, or simple seasonal décor.
