Suggestion #1: Craft A Pom Pom Teddy Bear

Cut a 2, 4, 5.5, and 6.5cm pom pom base from a cardboard and craft this mini yarn teddy bear.

For the body and the head, you only need the usual ball pom pom with trimming. For the body, work 200 wraps, for the head 150 turns, for the arms 85 turns, and 40 turns for the legs.

Make sure to have a slice cut in your cardboard base for easily pulling the wrapped yarn.

The finished pom pom teddy bear with a ribbon will be ready to become a Valentine’s Day present. It can sit and has felt ears.

Also use the safety beads and a store-bought white pom pom for the muzzle.

Suggestion #2: Craft A Pom Pom Rabbit

Grab two colors of acrylic yarn and white little pom poms to craft these sitting rabbit plushies. This time, you need a pom pom with white inside the blue head and the belly.

The idea is simple; first, wrap the blue yarn around, next to it the white yarn, and pull the wrapping together.

You need 140 wraps in total for the head and a 5cm cardboard base. For the belly, join two pom poms, one in blue and one in two colors that make a total of 200 wraps.

To make your rabbit stand without support, attach a tail pom pom and two leg pom poms. The colored eyes look quite interesting. Make the felt ears for your rabbit.

Suggestion #3: Craft A Pom Pom Elephant

This blue baby elephant measures 11cm and is as simple as the first no-knit animal. The idea is to craft three types of trims in the pom poms for different parts of the elephant. It will make it look shaped perfectly.

Also, you need three sizes of cardboard base (6.5cm, 5.5cm, and 3cm).

Use the kawaii eyes this time and a 30 cm by 35 cm silver foil to make the nose and teeth. For assembly, you can use the glue gun.

This pom pom elephant plushie can also sit and will make an irresistible bag charm.

Suggestion #4: Craft A Pom Pom Cat Buddy

There are minor differences in the construction of this pom pom cat and the no-knit bunny. So, if you followed the instructions for that, this cat plushie should be simple.

The idea is to craft sitting cats without the arms (the arms special need for trimming, which we have to avoid). So, this is for beginners.

You can craft this with just the usual ball pom poms with single and two colors. The special stuff is the striped long tail of the cat that again supports the plushie.

To make it, make many smushed pom poms on a fork and knot them together as you go. Each smushed pom pom is of 15 wraps. You can craft the whiskers using the nylon thread.

Suggestion #5: Craft A Pom Pom NEW Year Horse

While the global New Year has passed, the Chinese New Year is still around the corner. You can celebrate it with these symbols of the New Year: pony horse, pom pom plushies.

Basically, these are going to be horse dolls with longer manes like the girl’s hair. This makes them look REALLY cute. You can craft them in different colors and styles.

Like you can braid the mane of your horse. To begin with, have a 5cm and a 4cm cardboard base and make 180 wraps for the body.

To join the parts, use glue with the skewers. Also cut felt ears and join them onto.

Suggestion #7: Craft A Pom Pom Bunny Doll

You can craft these Valentine’s Day bunny dolls with pipe cleaner heart balloons in kinda same way as the first rabbit.

But the head pom pom would be about the same size as the body, and you will also craft the arms.

The white heart belly is quite interesting to learn. Along with that, the 4-layer felt eyes with the nylon eyebrows and eyelashes make it detailed and interesting.

You will, however, need a different trimming than a ball pom pom for the legs and the arms.
