Pom-Pom Koala

To make a koala you will need a koala pom-poms kit. Kit contents: 3 balls of grey wool, 4 tools for making pom-poms, 24 google eyes Ø 2.5 cm, 10 black sturdy cards, 10 silver sturdy cards, a tube of white glue, and a pair of precision scissors.

Additional items:

- A circular cutter

- A cutting mat

Wrap gray wool around the 9 cm diamond pompom maker tool (or smaller if you want to create a smaller koala pompom).

For a nice fluffy pompom, feel free to wrap until you achieve about 1 to 2 cm of thickness of wool around the pompom tool.

Close the 2 parts of the pom pom tool and then cut the yarn by passing the precision scissors blade into the cavity.

Cut a piece of yarn about 20 cm long and then thread it through the cavity of the tool. Then make a double knot, pulling tight to help the pompom keep its round shape.

Once the knot is done, separate the pom-pom from the tool and trim the pom-pom with a pair of scissors to give it a nice round shape.

Cut out 2 circles of approximately Ø 5 cm as well as the small oval nose of the koala from a sturdy black cardstock.

Then cut out 2 circles of approximately Ø 3.5 cm from a sturdy silver cardstock to create the inside of the koala's ear.

Tip: Use our rotary cutter (ref. 37035) to achieve nice circles.

With white glue, stick the silver circles in the center of the black circles.

Then let dry for about 10 minutes.

Glue the mobile eyes Ø 2.5 cm and the koala's nose onto the pompom.

Finally, apply white glue to the ends of the ears and push them into the pompom to stick them.

Then let everything dry for a few hours.
