You Will Need
X small and small pom pom makers
Haberdashery needle
Black and pink/purple felt
Pink/purple and white yarn
Scissors
PVA glue
Hole punch
How To Make 
Fluffy Penguins
1.
Start with the head by creating a single colour pom pom in
either pink or purple on the x small pom pom maker. Trim
any longer strands to create a round shape, leaving the long
tie threads in place.
Using the small pom pom maker, begin the body by winding
2.
the white yarn 1/3 of the way along the pom pom maker.
Continue the body by winding the pink yarn along the
3.
remainder of the pom pom maker. Add an extra 4 or 5 layers
of pink yarn across the entire side, covering the white yarn
completely. Repeat on the second side of the pom pom
maker, ensuring that both white tips touch when you close
the pom pom maker.
After cutting the pom pom and removing it from the pom
4.
pom maker, trim the body for a flawless shape and cut off
the tie thread.
Attach the tie thread from the head to the haberdashery
5.
needle and sew the head to the body straight through the
middle. Tie a small knot and cut off the remaining thread.
Make the eyes using a hole punch on black felt. It may get
6.
stuck so gently tug the press outs using the haberdashery
needle or a pencil. Make two then set to one side.
On the pink or purple felt, cut out a small triangle for the
7.
beak, two half leaf shapes (measuring about 4.5 cm in
length) and a pair of feet. If you're concerned about wonky
wings or feet, fold the felt in half then draw one foot or half
leaf along the edge. Cut with the felt still folded then cut the
end product in two.
Begin assembling the penguin by using PVA glue to attach
8.
the beak. Central, about 0.5 cm above the neck is best, or
make it your own by getting creative. Add the eyes close to
the beak with PVA glue.
Next use the PVA glue to attach the feet. Move the feet
9.
slightly forward so the tips can be seen poking out the front
of the pom pom body. Push the body down onto the glue for
a moment and leave to dry as you work on the wings.
Attach the wings to the body using more PVA glue, tucking
10.
them slightly into the fold of the neck on either side. Push
each wing down for a moment then leave to dry for an hour
or two.

You Will Need

Blue, white and green yarn
Scissors
PVA glue
Googly eyes
How To Make
Easy Spiders
1. Make a blue or green yarn pom pom using the x small
pom pom maker. On one side of the pom pom maker,
wrap around the yarn as normal until you get a thickness
you're happy with.
For the second half of the pom pom, wind two layers of
2.
your chosen coloured yarn across the width of the maker
and then 1/4 of layer three.
To start making the spider's legs, raise your forefinger on
3.
the hand which is holding the pom pom maker so your
finger is elevated above the maker itself. Continue the
third row by wrapping the yarn once up and over your
finger. Creating a large loop. Leave your finger in place
until you have completed the rest of the layer.
Repeat step 3 for the next three rows. Once all loops are
4.
in place add another couple of rows and then close the
maker.
Before cutting the pom pom, first cut the large loops in
5.
half. Cut the pom pom as normal then tie off using a
length of white yarn.
Trim away any stray threads then cut the legs to your
6.
desired length. Apply a pair of googly eyes with PVA glue
to finish.
