  Step 1

  MATERIALS:
  Cardboard
  Yarn (In my project, I am using 99 cents Store find – white yarn)
  2 black chenille stems
  2 wiggle eyes
  Black Felt (you don’t need a lot, so any leftovers are welcome)
  Felt Paint in Red
  Costume and Mask Glue
  Scissors

• 

  Step 2

  Step 1
  You will need to trace two larger circles on a cardboard, of if the cardboard allows you to folded in a half, then fold it and trace only one.

  As you can see I am using a regular glass

• 

  Step 3

  Now, in the middle of the larger circle, you’ll need to trace a smaller circle
  I am using a bottle water cap

• 

  Step 4

  When you are done tracing - it should look like that.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut the donut shapes out. You’ll get two pieces looking like that.

• 

  Step 6

  Wrap it up! Put two cardvoard pieces together. Starting from the outside edge and going in and around, start wrapping the donut by using long pieces of yarn. It is a lengthy part of the project, so pick a good movie or show on TV and take it away!

• 

  Step 7

  When the middle opening of the donut will become very small insert two chenille stems

• 

  Step 8

  continue wrapping the yarn (using large craft needle, in order to go through the center) until the center is completely covered.

• 

  Step 9

  Let the magic begin! You need to start cutting along the outside edge in order to get to the cardboard.

• 

  Step 10

  As soon as you’ve been able to expose some of the cardboard, insert your scissors between two pieces and keep cutting along the outside edge.

• 

  Step 11

  When you are done it should look like this

• 

  Step 12

  Tie the middle part very tightly in order to hold your pom pom together.

• 

  Step 13

  Remove the cardboard pieces

• 

  Step 14

  My favorite part - get the fruit of your labor
  Bend chenille stems in order to create any shape of legs that you may like

• 

  Step 15

  Let’s make a head.
  I am using leftover piece of black felt . Folded in a half, it measures about 2”

• 

  Step 16

  Cut the pear shape.

• 

  Step 17

  Glue two pieces together and set aside to dry

• 

  Step 18

  Let’s make ears.
  In my case, I am using leftover piece of felt.
  I cut out two pieces 1 ¼” long and ¾” wide in a leaf like pattern, with wider base.

• 

  Step 19

  Apply a small drop of glue to the center of the wide base.

• 

  Step 20

  Press them together by using alligator clips and set aside to dry.

• 

  Step 21

  Let’s play with eyes.
  It is amazing how many face expressions you can create by moving eyes around. Have fun!
  After you have settled on a certain face expression, glue wiggle eyes to the head and set aside to dry.

• 

  Step 22

  Let’s work on hair style
  Using white yarn, I’ve created few loops around the forehead, secure each loop with a tight knot.

• 

  Step 23

  Cut each loop in the middle.

• 

  Step 24

  Fluff it up and trim side pieces in order to get nice rounded look.

• 

  Step 25

  Glue ears to the head.

• 

  Step 26

  Let’s draw a mouth.
  My paint was very thick, so I’ve put a little drop

• 

  Step 27

  and then using a tooth pick created pillow lips with adorable smile.

• 

  Step 28

  Attach head to the body.
  Put a generous amount of glue where the head you think should be and press them together. Let the glue dry.

• 

  Step 29

  Here is your new fuzzy friend!
