When I made my first pom-pom sheep, I laughed at how quickly a ball of yarn became something so full of personality.
Add a tiny face, and suddenly it’s looking back at you like a curious lamb in the meadow.
Crafting a whole flock feels like building your own miniature farm with sweet, silly, and heartwarming.
Each sheep has its own charm, and together they make a cozy decoration that’s as fun to make as it is to display.
Materials Needed
- White and black yarn
- Pom-pom maker or cardboard rings
- Black felt (for ears and face)
- Googly eyes
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Make several pom-poms using white yarn for the sheep’s bodies and a few with black yarn for variety.
Step 2: Cut out small oval and ear shapes from black felt for each sheep’s face.
Step 3: Glue the felt pieces onto the pom-poms to form faces, then add googly eyes for a playful look.
Step 4: Arrange the sheep together in a cluster to create a flock, or display them individually around your home.
Step 5: For extra charm, place them on faux grass or in a basket for a farmyard feel.
Tips: Kids love naming each sheep, so be prepared for your flock to have personalities of their own!
