Here’s what you will need
- Yarn
- Black felt
- Googly eyes
- Scissors
- Tacky glue or a grown up with a glue gun
- Small pom poms
- Scissors
How to make our cute Pom Pom sheep craft
Take your yarn and wrap it around your middle three fingers several times until you have a thick wad (we wrapped approximately 80 times). You want to the yarn to be secure enough to keep shape but not too tight to remove from the fingers
Gently side the yarn off of your fingers and set it down carefully on a flat surface as you can see above.
Take a fair length of yarn and tie it very tightly around the middle of your yarn wad.
You should now be able to see the loops of your Pom Pom around the edges. Take a pair of scissors and snip open the edges of the Pom Pom at the centre of the loops.
Fluff up your Pom Pom, then trim it down until it’s round and neat.
Now it’s time to make the sheep’s face! Take your black felt and cut out the acorn like shape of your sheep’s head. Glue on two Googly eyes and optionally add any extra details such as a nose and a mouth
Glue four little Pom Pom feet onto the bottom of the body
Then add a pom pom tail to finish off your adorable pom pom sheep. We ended up gluing keyring chains into ours and they look amazing!
