Chicks n eggs

A fun and easy craft to do together with your kids are pompoms. We made some pompom chicks to hang as easter decorations using a loom I bought in my favorite craft store in New York https://www.purlsoho.com

If you don’t have one, don’t worry, you can use a wooden kitchen fork instead. The one I have is called LOOME and they have lots of video tutorials on how to create your pompoms check it out! http://www.theloome.com

You need:

  • Yarn
  • Loome
  • Scissors
  • Thread
  • Round paper guide (4cm)
  • Black beads for eyes
  • Orange paper beaks

Secure the end of the yarn to the notch and wind the yarn 125 revolutions

While the yarn is on the Loome, tie a tight double knot around at the center

Gently wedge the yarn bundle off the Loome and make another double knot on the other side of the yarn bundle. Take the scissors and cut the loops in half.

Hold the guide to the pom pom and cut around. Don’t be afraid of the haircut.

Stich or glue the beads and the paper beak to the pom pom.

Attach a loop for hanging. Done!
