Suggestion #1: Make a Little Poodle Dog Pom Pom Plushie

Recycle an old roll-on deodorant bottle or a cord roll to craft this pom pom mini poodle. It is JUST PERFECT when you are not handed enough yarn to make the body with the pom pom, too. The idea is to use the bottle as a base. For this, roll the yarn around itself to make a spiral and glue it onto the roll-on base.

Then simply keep on wrapping downward and gluing it around until the whole bottle is covered.

Around a cardboard base of the same dimensions as the bottle, make 18 turns of yarn for the pom pom.

You need 9 such long pom poms. Use the glue gun to attach all around your wrapped bottle. For the poodle hair, use a pom pom of 70 wraps. use:

Colored yarn
Googly eyes or wooden beads
Bead for the nose
Ribbons
Hot glue or adhesive
Scissors
A roll-on deodorant bottle or similar
Felt or craft foam for the tongue

Suggestion #2: Craft a Little Cat Plushie

While crafting this cat yarn plushie, you will discover how to make a grey pom pom with a white part. This is different from the multicolored or ombre pom pom and is very useful for crocheting the animal’s belly and face. With the four little white pom poms, this cute, chubby cat needs no support. Around a 6cm slice cut from the cardboard base, wrap the yarn 107 times in one color, and 25 times in the same base.

At the same time, in grey, make another wrapping using grey and 130 turns and knot with the first one. This will make the head. A similar approach will work for the body, but with a 7.5cm base. Also make felt ears, muzzle pom pom, and leg pom poms. Use two-colored eyes for your cat.

Suggestion #3: Craft a Puppy Dog Yarn Plushie

This little yarn puppy plushie provides a chance to learn the capsule pom pom with the ball pom pom. Actually, you need 3 capsule pom poms for this yarn plushie, so it’s a practice project at the same time. The idea is to make three 50-wrap unfinished pom poms around your fingers.

Then, stack and knot them together, cut and trim the pom pom. The main thing to learn is the trimming. For four legs, you need 3 40-wrap pom poms. Also, a regular pom pom for the head. You need a flet bow and safety beads, too.

In brown with red bow, in white with pink bow, both look cute.

Suggestion #4: Craft a Baby Polar Bear and Grizzly

Bears are not technically pets, but as these baby bear yarn plushies, you would wanna adopt them. (I mean, make them). Each yarn bear will need two round pom poms for the head, four capsule pom poms for the legs, and a small poms for the ears.

Make 120 wraps around a 6cm base, 120 wraps around a 4cm base, and 150 wraps around a 7.5cm base.

50-wrap poms will be used for legs, and a 12 wrap for the tail. These plushies can be gifted on Valentine’s Day.

Suggestion #5: Make Your Own Macrame Doggies

There come the large pet plushies. The first one is to craft a poodle dog with macrame cord and an old CD. These poodles are so fuzzy and look cute with the felt tongue and polka bow. The cardboard base should measure about 16cm with 25 wraps of thread around it. Make two such unfinished long poms normally.

However, for the third, you must tie the knot 7cm away from the edge, not in the middle.

The yarn loops and the comb the thread. Then you have to work basic macrame with these, also using a CD as a base for the head.

Suggestion #6: Craft a Poodle Yarn Plushie

This is how to craft a large poodle doll yarn plushie with an old can or tin and macrame recycled yarn. It will have two types of hair: the thin ones made by combing the macrame yarn and the usual ones. This gives the finished poodle plushie a rich texture.

Start by covering the can with the macramé cord using the hot glue just the same as in the mini poodle.

For making the 3 body pom poms, use a 25 cm long base, each with 25 wraps of yarn.

Similarly, make 4 pom poms using 20 wraps of yarn. The remaining work you can learn by watching the tutorial.

Suggestion #7: Craft An Alpaca Yarn Plushie

The alpaca plushie will be soft and fuzzy. Basically, you will make the alpaca using the cuttings from a lined fabric. Then attach the pieces of yarn to the wool of alpaca. It is different but if you have materials, give a try.
