Art Ideas With Pompoms

Teddy bears' circular body parts make them suitable pompom craft subjects.
Pompoms take center stage in the making of a wide variety of art projects. 
Their circular shape and fluffy appearance make them ideal craft components 
that are sold in craft stores in a variety of sizes, colors and textures. Add a 
magnet to the back of pompom crafts, wrap string or wire around them for 
hanging or simply sit them on top of a shelf or computer for display.

Animals
Use pompoms to make numerous animals with basic circular structures. For baby 
chicks, glue one medium and one large yellow pompom together. Glue two googly 
eyes onto the head, along with a folded orange felt paper diamond beak. Fill a 
small basket with several chicks or place one inside an open plastic Easter egg 
container. Make tan, black or pastel-colored chicks. Various sized pompoms form 
a teddy bear. Glue a medium pompom on top of a large pompom and attach smaller 
ones to the sides and bottom for arms and legs. Add slightly larger ones for 
hands and feet. Glue on two small pompom ears, a pompom tail, googly eyes and a 
white or light-colored pompom featuring a tiny black pompom nose. Place colored 
felt circles in the centers of the stomach, ears, hands and feet.

Bugs and Crawlers
Kids often enjoy crafting insects and other creepy crawlers. For a ladybug, 
glue a black pompom onto a large red pompom with black felt paper spots. Attach 
short strips of black floral wire for antennae, googly eyes and six black pipe 
cleaner legs. Similarly, create spiders by gluing eight bent black pipe cleaner 
legs onto a large black pompom with two googly eyes. For a caterpillar, glue 
four pompoms in a line and attach two short strips of black floral wire and 
googly eyes onto the end. Add felt paper stripes or spots. Morph into a 
butterfly by gluing a caterpillar in the center of connected wings cut from 
colored felt or foam paper and decorated with glitter.

Creatures
Stretch your creativity and imagination by producing quirky aliens or monsters. 
Start with a large pompom body. Add more body segments, if desired. Glue on one 
large googly eye and a small bent pipe cleaner piece above for an eyebrow. 
Attach pipe cleaners or pieces of colored straw for arms and legs with pompoms 
glued onto the ends. Cut a black Mohawk out of foam paper to glue on top of the 
head/body. Enjoy creating numerous eccentric creatures with pompoms, craft 
sticks, felt paper, pipe cleaners, sequins and other supplies.

Holiday Decorations
Produce seasonal pompom crafts, like a snowman. Glue together three white 
pompoms on top of a small mirror or white wooden base. Use tiny black pompoms 
for buttons and eyes. Add a small orange triangular felt paper nose, black 
floral wire smile and twig arms. For another project, fully cover plastic foam 
cones and grapevine or cut cardboard wreaths with pompoms of various sizes and 
colors. Decorate the trees and wreaths with glitter pompoms, shiny sequins, 
small pinecones and other objects. Use pastel pompoms for Easter; red, pink and 
white for Valentine's Day; and green for St. Patrick's Day. Arrange your pompom 
art alongside decorative glittery paper hearts, shamrocks or painted wooden 
eggs.
