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. from Vanessa The Google Girl. my skype name is rainbowstar123
