Pom-Pom “Pujaki” – ARTBAR
It’s time to update this pom-pom chandelier publish from 9 a long time ago, one of the initially that went “viral” on my blog in 2013. The purpose I preferred to update this put up in certain today is because this chandelier was impressed by regular Polish chandeliers referred to as Pujaki (produced from paper) and I really want to highlight and honor the outstanding nation of Poland and celebrate their folks and their traditions. We are ending the 2nd 7 days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and Poland has now taken over a million displaced Ukranians in a present of compassion and solidarity. This is how we rise to enable other folks in require. I wish we would do far more of this when the refugees are Brown or Black, but I am hopeful that Poland’s act of generosity will spark equivalent actions towards refugees of all shades in the upcoming.
In Poland, peasants applied to make these Pujakis throughout the wintertime months in preparing for their largest getaway, Christmas! Even though ordinarily produced from paper and straw, mine was manufactured from pom-poms simply because I am obsessed with these fluffy small fellas.
Study on to uncover out the products I applied, and how I designed this pom-pom chandelier.
Provides desired for Pom-pom Pujaki

~ Ribbon to wrap around the hoop, I utilized black striped grosgrain (or leave it basic)
~ Yarn (I employed 6 hues but you can do nearly anything you want) – this is the neon pink yarn I utilised
~ Pom-pom makers (optional, you can make pom-poms any way you ordinarily do)
~ Great scissors

How to make a Pom-pom Pujaki
This venture is fairly of a obstacle. I call it a labor of enjoy. It just will take a small time, and then a tiny engineering. Not at all complicated, you just need to have time and patience.
1. Make lots of pom-poms. I made 54 for this chandelier in several dimensions. I chose 6 different colours and white (or far more like product) to act as a rest for the eye. I made use of pom-pom makers which make items definitely easy, but you can use whichever strategy you favor. The pom-pom maker package arrives with guidance, but you get the notion from the photographs.
2. Up coming, lay out your pom-poms in the purchase that you like. I made use of three distinctive sizes. I also measured and marked the hoop flippantly with a pen so I would know just wherever to attach them.
3. So much, fairly simple. But now arrives the difficult part. Setting up with the biggest pom-pom, drive your needle carefully by means of every single 1. When you get to the smallest, loop the needle through the ebook ring, and then back again down all of the pom-poms. Depart a extended tail at the conclusion, about a foot. You will use this to attach to the hoop. Make absolutely sure that just about every of the 6 strands is specifically the very same size. You can examine every with the future as you go.
4. When all six strands are looped by the ring, hold the ring up on the ceiling. Now it is time to connect the strands to the hoop. Re-thread the needle (now you will have two strings to thread). Wrap the string around the hoop and then safe it by likely back again through the pom-pom. Just after you truly feel that it is restricted plenty of, trim the string. Subsequent, connect the strand opposite from the initial a single you just did. The hoop really should now be safe. Go forward and connect all of them. I utilised a very little bit of fabric glue on the within just to double secure the string.
5. Now slash six pieces of string that are about 4 ft prolonged. Choose the middle of just about every piece and loop it all over the hoop at the spot in which the 6 pom-poms meet up with the hoop. Make a pair knots. Now there ought to be 6 double strings hanging down.
6. A single by a single, thread the two ends into the needle. All over again, force the needle carefully by the 4 dangling pom-poms. When you’ve reached the previous just one, protected the thread by heading again by way of the base pom-pom. Trim the string.
Now you are carried out! There are in all probability several unique ways to get this finished, so if you uncover a improved way, by all usually means do regardless of what you feel functions very best. This is just the way I did it.
I appreciate our boho-stylish Pujaki!
