Old fabric scrap (approximately 40x60 inches or to your desired size)
Colored pom-poms (approximately 100, depending on size and spacing)
Hot glue gun
Hot glue sticks
Scissors
Measuring tape or ruler

Lay the fabric scrap out flat on a clean, hard surface, using a measuring tape to ensure it's the desired size for your winter throw.

Organize the pom-poms by color or size if desired. This will make it easier to apply them in a uniform pattern.

Starting from one corner of the fabric, begin placing the pom-poms onto the fabric to visualize your pattern before gluing. You might choose to work in rows, clusters, or a random pattern.

Heat up your hot glue gun. Once it's ready, carefully apply a small amount of hot glue to the back of each pom-pom, pressing it gently onto the fabric. Be cautious to avoid burning your fingers.

Continue gluing the pom-poms across the fabric, maintaining even spacing and following your chosen pattern. Allow the glue to dry completely after attaching each section.

Once all pom-poms are securely glued, trim any stray threads or excess fabric edges to ensure a neat finish.

Give the throw a gentle shake to test the stability of the pom-poms and make sure none are loose. Re-glue any that need extra support.

You can also make the poms poms more dense:

For added creativity, you can incorporate different sizes or even glitter pom-poms to mix up the texture and visual interest. If pom-poms aren’t your style, consider using other embellishments like fabric flowers, buttons, or even small appliqués in winter-themed shapes such as snowflakes or stars. For those who love a rustic look, jute or twine can be intertwined around the throw’s edges. Additionally, if you have sewing skills, you could sew the pom-poms for extra durability, especially if the throw will see frequent use.
