How to Make Poofy Pals

Poofy Pals are a fun and inexpensive craft for your kids to tackle this summer.  Using leftover craft supplies, you can create a really cute and creative creature your kids will surely love.  Let your children use their imaginations and I’m sure they will come up with some funny faces.

Gather your supplies:

• Yarn (the thicker the better)
• a small book (as large as you would like your pal)
• Glue (I used hot glue because I hate waiting and know my kids won’t wait for any other to dry)
• Scissors
• Google eyes, feathers, buttons, any extra craft supplies you have around your house!

1. Wrap yarn around your book about 100 times.

2. Cut a piece of yarn about six inches in length

Carefully slide the yarn off of the book and tie in the middle with the smaller length of yarn.

3. Carefully cut each loop, watching your poofy pal emerge

4. Decorate and let your pal take on its own persona

You can use anything from pom-poms, beads, pipe cleaners, craft foam, whatever!
