Pom Pom Sheep
Pom poms are really easy to make. A sheep is used in this tutorial, but pom poms can be used to make a variety of creatures, for instance an Easter chick.
You will need:
Cardboard
Scissors
Wool
Black fun foam
Needle
Black thread
Wiggley eyes
Glue

Draw two circles, around 15cm in diameter, on a piece of card (a cereal box is ideal for this). A saucer may work well as a template. Then draw a smaller circle
of around 6cm in diameter in the centre of them. Cut them out so that you have 2 donut shapes.

Put the two pieces of card together then tie the end of your wool around them. Pass the ball of wool through the centre of the card and start winding it around. If the ball of wall
is too big to fit through the centre hole, cut off lengths of around 2 metres to work with instead.
Keep winding the wool around your cardboard template until it is completely covered. The more layers of wool, the thicker and fuller the finished pom pom will be.

Carefully cut around the edge of the pom pom.
|
|
When this is done, slide a length of wool between the two pieces of card and tie it really tightly around the centre of the pom pom, bringing the pieces of wool together and securing it.
|
|
Cut a head and four legs from a piece of black fun foam.
Sew these on by passing the needle through the centre of the pom pom. Glue two googley eyes onto the head to cover the stitch from where it has been sewn onto the pom pom.

The sheep is complete!
