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!
