Pom pom paper monsters5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() This craft is from our new book – Fun and Easy Crafting with Recycled Materials. Here are the Supplies You’ll Need to Make These Tissue Box Monsters. ![]() I especially love these bags since they often include the brighter colors. No need to deplete your crochet or knitting yarn stash, but still make great monsters. ![]() These are a great way to grab scrap yarn for projects like this. That way, you can use the first eyes, ears, and tongue as templates for the rest.Īdditionally, I watch Etsy for yarn grab bags. Make these in an assembly line process when making multiples. Now you have an adorable yarn pom pom monster! Add the two triangles, one on either side of the pom pom, for ears. Glue the black circle into the center of the white circle, and then glue in place above the tongue. Now, you will draw and cut out a small pink tongue from the pink paper and set it aside.Īnd a slightly smaller circle from the black paper, along with two small triangles.Īttach the pink tongue to the pom pom with craft glue. Next, you will cut through the loops on both sides of where you tied the yarn, and then begin shaping the sides into a ball and trimming to make even. Now, cut a small piece of yarn, and wrap it around the middle of your yarn bundle and pull tight tying in place.

For simple packages or decorations, any glue works. This is definitely not one to use basic school glue or Elmer's glue if you plan to have it as a toy to play with. The only other option I have had success using was E6000 craft glue. I've tried all kinds, but my go-to for attaching anything to yarn is hot glue. Since you are adding eyes, ears, and a mouth to your monster, you'll need good glue to keep them in place. I love adding them to gift bags, as decorations for parties of all kinds, or just for a fun toy the kids love. I have made them in all sizes and colors for different purposes. It really doesn't matter what size you make your monsters. So, while I would say you should make it as big or little as you want, the real decision will come when you look at how it feels on your own hand.

Looking at the pictures you can see size comparisons to get an idea of how large that is. This one is about 20 wraps around my hand. This one is just as easy, can be made in minutes, and is sure to make every kid go wild. Often, there just isn't enough leftover to do anything else productive, but if nothing else, I can whip up a pom pom and toss into my craft box to use later. Making a pom pom monster has to be one of my favorite things to do with leftover scrap yarn. Funny the things we love as kids, but looking back now, it was a fun little addition to my toy collection and I know I spent hours playing with it on the ride home. If memory serves correctly, it was my pick while on vacation as a souvenir. I remember as a kid having one of these in my toy box. Grab your favorite yarn and use this step by step tutorial to make a few monsters of your own. Did you know you can magically turn your favorite yarn into a monster? This yarn pom pom monster isn't scary, but sure is adorable! I love making these and adding to things like kid's lunch boxes, on top of gifts, or just for them to pretend to play with alongside their other toys. ![]()
