I couldn’t stop smiling as I put these pom-pom monsters together.
You can see each one seemed to take on its own quirky character, the orange cyclops looked a little mischievous, while the green one with purple horns had a curious grin.
They’re the kind of craft that makes you feel like a kid again, surrounded by yarn fluff and giggles.
Place them on a shelf, gift them to friends, or scatter them across a Halloween table setup, they’re guaranteed to spark joy wherever they go.
Materials Needed
- Colorful yarn (bright or neon shades work best)
- Pom-pom maker or cardboard rings
- Felt sheets (for eyes, teeth, horns, and feet)
- Googly eyes (optional)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Create pom-poms using your yarn. Aim for different sizes to give your monster family variety.
Step 2: Cut out monster features from felt such as pointy horns, big round eyes, goofy teeth, and feet for them to stand on.
Step 3: Glue the felt pieces onto the pom-poms. You can layer smaller felt circles on top of bigger ones to create fun cartoon-like eyes.
Step 4: Attach googly eyes if you want to add even more expression.
Step 5: Let the glue dry and then place your pom-pom monsters on display.
Tips:
