How to make our Pom Pom love bunnies
Start by taking your coloured yarn and wrapping it around your fingers several times until you have a good, chunky amount stacked up.
Gently remove the yarn from you fingers. Take a small length of string and tie it across the centre of your Pom Pom ensuring that you pull it very tight.
Take your scissors and cut all the way around the edge of the Pom Pom at the centre of the loops.
Fluff your Pom Pom up and trim the scraggly ends to get it into shape.
Next take your felt and cut out a large heart shape for the feet and two outer bunny ears. Optionally also cut two inner ears from patterned paper and glue them onto the felt outer ears
Glue the feet in place on one side of the pom Pom and the ears on the other side.
Add two Googly eyes and a little Pom Pom nose to make the face.
Cut out a little strip of foam (or card), add a little heart to one end and then glue the other end to the feet of your bunny. Finally add a special message and your super cute Pom Pom bunny message is ready to deliver to someBUNNY special!

Take your skin tone colour paper and cut out a strip wide enough to wrap around your cup and tall enough to cover just under a third of it. Stick It down around the base of the cup.
Cut out a v shaped beard and a moustache from your white card. Glue down the beard first and then add a small patch of glue (or tape!) to then centre of the moustache and stick it down on top of the beard as can be seen in the image above.
Stick on two Googly eyes above the moustache. Then take your markers and draw on a little round nose and a mouth.
Cut out a red santas hat and a little circular bobble to go on the end. Glue the two pieces together and then use your double sided tape (or glue gun!) to attach the hat to the inside rim of the cups base

You can cut a slightly bigger square from your gold card to make the outer buckle. Glue the belt around the body and then add the larger square to the centre of the belt with the smaller square on top of it
Cut out two red rectangles for the arms and two long strips for the legs. Accordion fold the leg strips back and forwards to give them some bounce. Next you’ll need to make two black mittens and two black boots. Glue the mittens onto the arms and the boots onto the legs and attach each one to your Santa’s body.
Add any other optional decor; we added a white strip around the hat and a sack of presents on his back.
Finally pierce a small hole into the base of the cup and thread through your length of elastic. Tie a large knot on the inside of the cup to prevent the elastic coming through. Once dry your paper Santa puppet is finished and ready to play with, Isn’t he just adorable!?
