Gently press the smaller head pom pom onto the larger body pom pom. Then add a large glob of glue from the glue gun to the top of the larger pom pom (including the edges of the wings if you can), as shown in the photo below. Using a hot glue gun, attach the eyes and beak to the smaller pom pom to make the chick’s face.Īdd a small dab of glue from the glue gun to the tip of each wing, then attach them to the top of the larger pom pom.

It’s kind of therapeutic!Ĭut out wings and a diamond shaped beak from felt.Īdd a small dab of glue from the glue gun to the center of the diamond. The more care you take, the better your chicks will look in the end. It’s up to you how much time you spend on this part. I find that trimming and shaping each pom pom takes about 5 to 10 minutes per pom pom. Just keep working your way around each pom pom until the yarn is even and it actually looks like a perfect ball. You just have to give them a bit of a “haircut” to make them into perfect circles. When you’re done, you’ll end up with two, very scraggly looking pom poms – one just slightly larger than the other.ĭon’t worry, they’re supposed to look messy like this! If you’re using regular thickness yarn, you’ll want to wind the yarn about 100 times. Repeat the process again, except this time wind the yarn around TWO of your fingers about 50 times.

You just want it to hold the loops together so you can slip it off your fingers without everything falling apart.Ĭarefully slide the yarn off your fingers, then pull the ends of the 8 inch long piece of yarn as tight as you can. If you’re using regular thickness yarn, you’ll probably want to wind the yarn around your fingers about 110 times.Īfter you’ve finished winding the yarn around your fingers, take that loose, 8 inch long piece of yarn and tie it around the middle of the yarn loops. Next, wind the yarn around THREE of your fingers about 60 times. ![]() I’ll let you know down below how many times to wind the yarn for both regular thickness and chunky yarn.Ĭut a piece of yarn, about 8 inches long and slip it between your first two fingers, as shown in the photo below. That being said, you can still use regular thickness yarn to make pom poms, you just have to wind it more times to get a full looking pom pom.
