Servings: 2
Cost: 10
Equipment
- 1 Pair of scissors
- 1 Hot Glue Gun optional, can use glue instead
- 1 Cardboard piece or other hard object, can use your hand or child's hand
Ingredients
- Black Yarn
- White Yarn
- Black Felt
- Yellow Felt
- Googly Eyes Optional
Instructions
- Start by wrapping the yarn around cardboard, a hand, or other sturdy object. Start with the white and wrap 2-3 inches of yarn. Then move onto the black, and wrap another 2 inches. Try not to overlap onto the white when wrapping the black yarn.
- Once done wrapping, carefully slide the yarn off the cardboard and wrap with a piece of yarn. I find it easiest to lay a piece of yarn on the table, slide the wrapped yarn onto the piece of yarn on the table and then tie the wrapped yarn together tightly.
- Now cut all of the loops of yarn and continue cutting until you get something resembling a pom pom.
- Repeat process 3 more times. To make the body a little larger, wrap another inch of each yarn.
- Now you should have 4 pom pom. Take the smaller and hot glue it on top of the larger.
- Freehand cut some feet out of yellow felt and a small triangle for the nose.
- Freehand cut some wings from black felt.
- Glue on the wings, feet, nose, and eyes. Use black felt or googly eyes for the eyes.
