What you need Yarn (various colours)
30cm pipe cleaners
eyes (stickers or googly)
scissors
PVA glue (white glue)
Instructions: Bend your pipe cleaner in
half and then twist it about 1/3 of the way down just shy of the three-finger
width (adult hand) that you will wrap the yarn around. Wrap your yarn around
your fingers so you get a nice thick wedge of yarn. Thick is best for this so
‘overdoing’ is better than ‘under doing’ this stage. carefully slide one of the
pipe cleaner legs through the wodge of yarn and twist tightly to secure.
Carefully snip through the loops of yarn trying to keep the lengths even.
Gently pull the yarn strands down to cover the; hoped part of the pipe cleaner
and trim any irregular bits off. Create a little for with the pipe cleaner that
will help your Yarn Monster stand up. Curl each of the remaining pipe cleaner
strands to create flat tight circles. Add some eyes.
