Pom-pom Animals from Yarn and Felt
#v14893
The bunny rabbit and the chick are each made from two pom-poms made using a pom-pom tool. The eyes, ears, beak and feet are either modelled from Silk Clay or cut from felt and glued on at the end. The templates which are available as a separate PDF file for this idea are cut from felt.

How to do it
1 Wind yarn around the wide end of the pom-pom tool. The more you wind the denser the pom-pom. Tie a knot with a piece of yarn, tighten and cut open in the grooves along the sides.
2 The yarn ends from the knotted piece of yarn on one pom-pom can be used for tying the two pom-poms together.
3 Glue on the ears (cut out using the template) with a glue gun and push on the Silk Clay eyes and a nose.
4 The bunny rabbit can lie down or you can press it onto a Silk Clay stand. Push hard and leave to dry.
5 Glue on the chick's felt beak and feet using a glue gun. (The feet are made from two layers of felt glued together for stability).
