Pom Pom Spiders and Pumpkins

To make spiders and pumpkins out of pom poms you need:

- Black and orange yarn 

- Black and dark green chenille stems

- Tools to make pom poms

- Mobile eyes Ø 2.5 cm

- White glue 

- Precision scissors 

To make the spider:

After selecting the size of the pompom maker, wrap the black yarn around it. For a nice fluffy pompom, don't hesitate to wrap it until you have about 1 to 2 cm of thickness of yarn around the pompom maker.

Here we have chosen the tool to make a pompom of Ø 7 cm.

Close the two parts of the pompom tool, then cut the yarn by sliding the precision scissors blade inside the cavity.

Pass 4 black caterpillars through the cavity of the tool that will allow us to create the legs of the spider.

Next, pass a wool thread through the cavity and make a triple knot, tightening it well to hold the chenille stems and allow the pompom to maintain its round shape.

Remove the tool, then fold the tracks as shown in the photo and trim any excess if necessary.

Finally, glue two movable eyes Ø 2.5 cm with white glue.

To make the pumpkin:

Wrap the orange yarn around the tool in the same way as the black yarn (until achieving about 1 to 2 cm in thickness) and then close both parts.

Here we have chosen the tool for making a pompom with a diameter of 9 cm.

Cut the wool by sliding the precision scissors blade through the cavity.

Pass a dark green chenille through the cavity of the tool.

Tie a triple knot tightly to hold the caterpillar and allow the pompom to maintain its round shape.

Remove the tool, then twist the chenille to form the pumpkin's tail.

Fold the twisted chenille back onto itself.

Glue two Ø 2.5 cm googly eyes with white glue.
