A few weeks ago, when we hung a few sets of Ikea curtains in Greta’s room, I knew we’d be revisiting them in an effort to make them more special/quirky/fun. Â I casually looked for pom-pom trim (because, really it is the most fun trim there is) to add to the edges for a couple weeks and then I started getting serious. Â Like, where is all the pom pom trim!? Â Granted, JoAnns and Hobby Lobby had some–but they had a lot of….neon colors. Â I had my heart set on a sunny yellow–not bright, neon yellow–to tie in with the gold polka-dotted sheets. Â Spoiler alert–found some!
Etsy pulls through again. Â I found and ordered 10 yards of golden yellow 1/2 ball pom pom trim (for less than $20!) from this shop and it arrived in two or three days. I think ideally, I would have loved HUGE pom poms, but these half-inchers looks so sweet and are the perfect color–I can’t even complain. Check out how well they complement the sheets:
Gah! Attaching them to the curtains was really easy. Â I followed Kim’s method and used hot glue. It worked great, was real fast and the trim isn’t going anywhere. Â I just put a small line of glue on the back edge of the curtains and pressed the trim on, working in small sections. Â When finished, the front looks like this:
And the back looks like this:
The results are really charming and just what these run of the mill Ikea curtains needed.
Mark this as one of those fast-less-than-an-hour-less-than-$20-projects. Â (Love those.) Hold me back before I add pom pom trim to all of our curtains.
UPDATE! You can now shop everything in our house right here!

I love this. It’s the perfect amount of whimsy that it needed. But you obviously don’t have cats ;]
Ummm will you be mad if I steal this pom pom thing? You have the best ideas and some hot pink on my plain white curtains may be just the thing I need for the little girl room makeover we’re working on.
I LOVE this room!
GOOD call on the pom pom trim. really takes the room to a new level.
