Yarn Monsters!
This week's Take & Make is a Yarn Monster! You can wear it as a ring, or just bend the pipe cleaner to make it stand by itself. Once you have made the monster body, there are 3 sets of eyes to choose from. Pick the set that matches your monster's personality best!
When you are finished, take a picture and share it with us on Facebook, or email fallibrarians@hcplonline.org.
Supplies
In addition to the contents of this kit, you will need Scissors (sharp enough to cut through the yarn) and a pencil.
Fold Your Pipe Cleaner in Half.
Make a Loop at the Top
This loop should be a little bit shorter than the 3 fingers you will use to wrap your yarn around.
Wrap the Yarn Around Your Fingers
You want to make a fat wad of yarn.
Slide the Yarn Off Your Fingers
And poke one leg of your pipe cleaner through the hole.
Twist the two legs of the pipe cleaner tightly around the yarn.
Cut the Loop of Yarn
The scissors will go in the hole opposite of the pipe cleaner.
Once the yarn is cut, arrange the yarn so it covers the pipe cleaner loop and the two legs are on top.
Twist the Pipecleaner Legs Around a Pencil to Make a Flat Loop
This is where your eye stickers will go.
Enjoy!
And make sure to share a picture!
