#MAKE A YARN POMPOM PDF#
Print the PDF pattern and use this template as a guide for cutting your wool blend felt pieces. Once your pom poms are ready you can add the monster faces. Watch our Craft School video below for the instructions to create your pom poms. Our gray character is made out of cotton yarn, which is a bit droopier than the others to match his silly eyes and teeth. Looking at our photos, all of our pom pom monsters are made with acrylic yarn except for the gray monster. There is no need to use high quality wool yarn for this simple kid’s craft! Cotton yarn is also a good option for this project, it just depends on the look you want to create. There are lots of types of yarn out there, but I recommend using acrylic yarn for this project. Grab scissors, a hot glue gun and an extra large pom pom maker out of your crafting toolbox and you are ready to start the project. The only materials you need to make these yarn pom pom monsters are yarn and felt.
