Both adults and children will love them.
The adorableness of these little pom-pom ghosts is off the charts!
And thankfully, this adorableness is easy to achieve.
This is also a great toddler craft with help from parents using the scissors.
And Lanet and I have lots of family to keep up with!
(did you know there are 10 of us kids in our family?)
We know its only September and some of us arent quite ready to think about Halloween.
This little project is for you.
Pom Pom Ghosts for Kids
Gather These Supplies
Yourpom pomghost starts out as a basic pom pom.
If you have never made apom pombefore we have the basic instructions.
If you have, just skip to the step that begins the ghost creation (step 4).
Tie an end of your yarn around a fork.
Dont cut the yarn from the skein until you are done with the remaining steps.
Wrap your yarn around and around the fork.
Keep it fairly loose to make it easier for you to cut the loops later on.
The more you wrap, the fluffier your pom-pom will be.
When you have it to the size you would like go ahead and cut the yarn off the skein.
Carefully take your yarn off of the fork.
This will hold that yarn in place.
Tie it tightly and as evenly as possible.
This will create your pom-pom.
Feel free to trim it down a bit to make the puff even.
Now comes the part where we make the actual ghost shape.
Shave the yarn off the top of the pom-pom rather closely.
This is going to create the shape of the ghost.
Shave all the way around.
Keep shaving until you create the desired shape.
Dont be afraid when it seems you are cutting off a lot .
Youll probably make a test ghost before you get it right.
But once you do .
After you achieve the shape you are looking for.
glue on your google eyes.
You could use a blackSharpie, if you like.
You now have a pom-pom ghost!
They are the cutest little ghosts that ever hung out on a string together .
Wishing you and your family a great spooky season full of fun, laughter, and adorable ghosts!
