Pom pom plushies sometimes become REALLY messy, especially when you wanna craft no-knit animal dolls. In this discussion, I will show you some of the easiest and quickest pom pom plushies to make into irresistible presents.
I will also talk about how making a two-color pom really saves time, gluing and makes color transition invisible. Includes two chick plushies, bear and pig plushies, and also Hello Kitty.
These ways will let you craft an irresistible keychain present for yourself with no more than 3 poms and 12 minutes of your time. Instead of crafting separate small pom poms for legs and arms, we will be using felt on our way. That’s why they should be simple. Let’s start the talk!
Suggestion #1: Craft A Chick Plushie
Let’s craft a tiny and cute sitting chick yarn plushie just from one big pom pom and three little wrappings of yarn. For the body pom pom, use a cardboard base of about 10 cm in width. You can also use a pom maker for an even rounder pom.
For the wings, make two unfinished poms using a fork or about a 3cm cardboard base.
Cut feet and nose from brown felt, make a 3-loop knot for the comb, and a loop for the wattle. You can add this to the Tanksgiving basket, finished with glittery eyes.
Suggestion #2: Craft A Yarn Pendant Plushie
These no-knit yarn Macaroon pendents are oh-so cute and easy to craft. With this method, you can make a Macaroon Biscuit or any of the two Macaron Animals, including the bear and pig plushies.
Once you learn the basics, creating animal versions only requires changing the color and adding felt face features such as a muzzle, ears, nose, and eyes.
Start with 100 – 150 turns for the biscuit part and 50 – 80 turns for the cream. You will want to make flat poms for this. Perfect for summer parties.
Suggestion #3: Craft A Newborn Chick Plushie
Let’s craft this perfect 8-minute Chick in Egg plushie for baby showers using a two-color pom method. Start with a yellow yarn and wrap it 200 times around 4 fingers and knot the middle. Don’t finish it and wrap white yarn 160 times around and knot it.
Now, you will want to stack the two and knot them together, cut and trim the strands together.
You can also use an oval base to make an egg shape in the pom after trimming. Attach wrappings such that the shell may look like a broken shell…..
Suggestion #4: Craft A Hello Kitty Plushie
As a present for a girl, craft this cute and authentic Hello Kitty face plushie using one big and two small white pom poms. Because we need an elongated shape, you will want to stack over two wrappings in white and make a combined big pom pom.
Use two fingers to make smaller poms as ears. The trimming is the most important part here, as you will not want to make a ball pom pom. After assembly, attach felt whiskers, nose, and eyes. Also, attach a ribbon bow.
Suggestion #5: Craft A Yarn Hedghog Plushie
Use a thin acrylic yarn to craft these itty-bitty Hedghog plushies for fall. These plushies can be put together in under 10 minutes. You can attach a felt maple leaf with embroidery veins and a hanging loop to keep it with you all the time.
The interesting thing is how you can craft this from just one pom pom. Start with cream yarn with 80 wraps around 1 finger, knot it, and place it aside.
Using two shades of brown, combined to make 80 wraps around the two fingers. Then attach the wrappings such that the brown wrapping surrounds the cream pom pom a bit from either side. Then finish the pom.
