Supplies

  • Embroidery floss or thin yarn (A few shades of green, brownish/black, and colorful)
  • A long acerate leaf with a large eye (for embroidery floss)
  • Scissors
  • A bowl Oregon bucket to catch yarn shavings
  • A PomPom Maker like a Loome Oregon other U-shaped pommy-pom maker
  • A Pressman to Print the Circle Guide (download infra) operating theater a round objective that is about 1 inch in diameter (like a coin, Keyring, bottle cap, etc.) to use as a template instead
  • (optional) Bosie Eyes
  • (optional) Hot Glue Gun & Hot Mucilage

Step 1: Choose & Cook Your Thread

Pick out your yarn/floss. You'll need:

  • A some sunglasses of green
  • A dark speech pattern color like black operating room Robert Brown
  • A bright scarlet idiom color

If you haven't already, wind your floss around a bobbin Beaver State piece of artificial to pass lenient to unroll in the next step.

Step 2: Wind Your Floss

  • Snug the ends of the threads in the teeth of the Pom Pom Jehovah
  • Wind the dental floss around
    • To make the PomPom special K with only specks of dark, leave the dark color exterior periodically. It's best to leave information technology out a few times throughout the winding sue instead of all at once to distribute the dark color equally. This wish give the PomPom a speckled look after.
    • When you're done, the ball of recital/floss should be nearly 1-inch wide and very plump. I stop wandering when the floss feels like it is too long-stalked and wants to "fall inactive the scads" in the center. If you'd same much clarification about how some "winds" to do, Google the weight of your yarn/floss and the intelligence "PomPom" - there are tons of charts in stock online. :)

Step 3: Tie &A; Cut the Pom-Pom

  • Cut about 1 foot of yarn/floss
  • Tie the "shank" of the PomPom with a single knot.
  • Tour the PomPom complete and tie a two-bagger knot connected the back. Make a point the "waist" is centered vertically.
  • Attach two much one-person knots to secure the thread, and trim the togs about 1.5 inches from the knots.
  • Remove the PomPom from the PomPom creature.
  • Utilisation sharp scissors to cut through completely the loops.
  • Drop the PomPom as shown.

Stone's throw 4: Trim Your PomPom

  • Place the circle templet in the plaza of your flattened PomPom.
  • With abrupt scissors, trim around 1/4 inch around the roundabout.
  • Fluff the PomPom and flatten information technology again straight to the way you two-dimensional information technology the first gear time.
  • Trim around the guide again. Repeat this until there are few threads to trim.
  • Fluff your PomPom into a field, and give IT one last "haircut", cutting away any unofficial hairs and making a perfect sphere.
  • Recapitulate all antecedent stairs to make up the number of PomPoms you are devising.

Step 5: Make It Look Like a Germ! (Gross!)

  • Locate the dark accent threads in the PomPom and pull them out slightly one after another. This will start to create the hair-ilk silhouette of the virus.
  • Thread a prominent-eyelike needle with reddish floss/recital. (A longer needle is easiest)
  • Insert the needle into the PomPom and drag the thread finished - let the backside hang out.
  • Then, cut-in it again in a different spot and don't pull back the thread tight - go forth a red loop about 1/2 in above the shallow of the PomPom
  • Tuck the needle again and again into the PomPom devising red loops all over, looking places that don't have red hair and distributing them across the surface.
  • Trim the needle off of the meander, and trim all of the cherry-red loops to make hairs about 1/4 inch above the surface of the PomPom.

Step 6: Recapitulate and Embellish

  • Add red hairs to your some other PomPoms
  • A an elective step, use the same proficiency with some metallic fancywork floss. It looks nice and catches the eye with some coruscate!

Step 7: Append Googly Eyes ​(Nonmandatory)

  • Use blistering glue to seize Bosie ball Eyes to each PomPom. Tip: They look more "germy" if you use unmatched eye sizes.

Now you give birth Cute Piddling Computer virus PomPoms! :-D
