Hello! Christmas is right around the corner and these Pom Pom Christmas Lights are so cute, I love them! A couple of weeks ago I was watching a show on Netflix called Stranger Things and the Christmas lights in it gave me an idea. I have been making a lot of projects lately out of pom poms so it wasn't hard for me to come up with the pom pom Christmas lights and I think they turned out really cute, plus they are easy and fun to make!

Place the scissors in the gap around the pom pom maker and cut the yarn all the way around.

Cut the yarn, leaving the tail long enough to sew into the Christmas light bulb and pull it through.
Take a darning needle and thread it through one of the tail ends of the Christmas light bulb and sew it through the middle of the bulb from the top, through the black yarn and down to the bottom of the bulb. Repeat with the other tail end, but make sure it comes out right next to the other tail end.
Tie the two ends together and trim to hide.
