To make these Halloween yarn dolls you will need yarn, cardboard, pipe cleans, wiggle eyes, scissors and glue. That's it! You don't have to make the examples here exactly like shown, get creative! Have a contest on how can create the spookiest monster yarn doll.

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:

1. Cut the piece of cardboard out with scissors.
   
2. 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.
   
3. 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.
   
   
4. Create an antennae for the monster and insert it into the top of the soon-to-be head.
   
5. 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.
   
6. Trim the bottom so that all the yarn is even and monster is the size you want.
   
7. Glue wiggle eyes onto the antennae and on the head to create the monster's face.
