POM POM TEDDY BEARS


      You will need:

        9 Pom Poms in 3 different sizes (like shown here)

        1 for the Body, 1 for the Head and 7 for arms, legs & face
        1 small black bead
        2 googly eyes
        White Glue (I like to use Tacky Glue)
        Toothpick
        Wax Paper
        Optional: Ribbon, Small Silk Flowers



      Glue the head pom pom (medium size) to the body pom pom (large size). If you are using "Tacky" glue (it is thicker than your normal white glue... can be found at local craft shops... I've seen it at WalMarts) you can go right on to the next step. If you are using another white glue, it may not set up as fast... so you might have to wait before going on to the next step.


      Next put glue on 2 of the smaller pom poms. If you put a dab of glue on a piece of wax paper and slightly press the pom pom into the glue, it won't be as messy. Then press the pom poms onto the body pom pom. Set them so the bear can sit without falling over.


      Next glue the 2 arms onto the body. I like to use a toothpick to pick up a little extra glue to put on the arm pom poms (after putting them on to the body), I put the glue up near the back-top area... so that the arms will also be glued to the head pom pom.


      Here is the fun part... because this is where your Pom Pom Teddy Bear starts to take on his/her own character! Glue on the muzzle (small pom pom). Then glue on the 2 googly eyes. Next glue on the black bead for your teddy bear's nose.


      Next glue on the 2 ears (small pom poms). Set them right up on the top of your teddy bear's head. To finish up your Teddy Bear, you can add tiny bows, small silk flowers and other fancy items! These are a "hit" at school sales!


      You can print this page so you can use it later ... like on a Rainie Day! [Rainy Day... smile] The way to do that is by clicking on FILE, usually located in the top left corner of your screen - then clicking on PRINT.
