Step-By-Step Guide: How to Make a Yarn Wool Dog

Step 1: Make the Pom-Poms for the Dog’s Body

1. Prepare the Cardboard Circles: Cut two identical circles from cardboard with a hole in the center (like donuts). The larger the circles, the bigger the pom-poms.
2. Wrap Yarn Around the Circles: Hold the two cardboard circles together and wrap the yarn around them multiple times until it forms a thick layer.
3. Cut the Yarn: Use scissors to cut the yarn between the two circles all the way around.
4. Tie Off the Pom-Pom: Insert a separate piece of yarn between the cardboard circles and tie it tightly to secure the pom-pom.
5. Trim the Pom-Pom: Remove the cardboard and fluff up the pom-pom, trimming any uneven edges.

Pom-Pom Tip: Create 4 pom-poms in different sizes for the head, body, and legs.

Step 2: Form the Dog’s Head and Body

1. Select Pom-Poms: Use the largest pom-pom for the body and a slightly smaller one for the head.
2. Attach Head to Body: Use hot glue or sewing thread to secure the head pom-pom to the body pom-pom.
3. Position Carefully: Ensure that the head is centered on the body and positioned to give your dog a balanced look.

Attachment Tip: Use glue sparingly and let each part dry fully before moving on.

Step 3: Add the Legs and Tail

1. Legs: Attach two smaller pom-poms on each side of the body for the front and back legs. Make sure they’re evenly placed.
2. Tail: Use a small or medium pom-pom for the tail and attach it at the back.
3. Securing: Use hot glue or needle and thread to firmly attach each part.

Leg Tip: Try adding a little more yarn to the leg pom-poms if you want your dog to appear more “fluffy.”

Step 4: Create the Ears and Face

1. Ears: Cut two small pieces of yarn or felt for floppy ears. Attach them to the top sides of the head.
2. Eyes: Attach black beads or small buttons for the eyes, positioning them slightly apart to create a cute expression.
3. Nose: Attach a small black bead or pom-pom for the nose at the front.

Expression Tip: Experiment with different placements for the eyes and nose to give your yarn dog a unique personality.

Step 5: Add Details and Final Touches

1. Muzzle: Optionally, wrap a small piece of yarn into a tight ball and glue it under the nose to make a muzzle.
2. Collar: Tie a thin strip of yarn or ribbon around the neck as a collar for added flair.
3. Trimming: Give your yarn dog a final “grooming” by trimming any stray yarn to refine its shape.
