Kind of scary, but really kind of cute! These easy-to-make monster yarn dolls will walk (or float?) right into your kid's heart. Make a whole family and use for playtime or as Halloween decorations.
You'll need:
- yarn
- rectangle piece of sturdy cardboard (the back of a notebook works well)
- pipe cleaners
- wiggle eyes
- scissors
- glue
Here's how to make it:
- Cut the piece of cardboard out with scissors.
- Hold the end of the yarn with your finger onto the back of the cardboard and start to wrap it around. Continue to wrap until you have a good amount for the body of the monster.
- Carefully slide the yarn off the cardboard, keeping it lined up. With scissors, cut the yarn at the bottom so it's dangling. Lay it carefully back on your workspace.
- Create an antennae for the monster and insert it into the top of the soon-to-be head.
- Cut another piece of the pipe cleaner and wrap it around the top to create the head. Curl the antennae to create circles to hold the wiggle eyes.
- Trim the bottom so that all the yarn is even and monster is the size you want.
- Glue wiggle eyes onto the antennae and on the head to create the monster's face.
