These Yarn Monsters were an utter delight to make and I have laughed all the way through writing this blog post at the photographs I have been editing. This is such an enjoyable craft from start to finish and my girls just adore playing with these little critters, plus they look really cool dotted around the house. You may also like this cool roundup I did of Monsters Made From Yarn, these cool Fuggler Monsters, my other Yarn Crafts and of course I have a heap of Halloween crafts.

 

MATERIALS NEEDED – HOW TO MAKE – MORE YARN CRAFTS – MORE HALLOWEEN CRAFTS

MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE YARN MONSTERS

Yarn (various colours),

30cm pipe cleaners (I love cotton pipe cleaners as they not only look good buy are easier to glue things on to but you can use any kind),

eyes (stickers or googly),

scissors

PVA glue (white glue)

 

HOW TO MAKE THESE YARN MONSTERS YOU WILL NEED

Watch the video at the end for more detailed instructions (coming later).

 

1. Bend your pipe cleaner in half and then twist it about 1/3 of the way down, just shy of the three finger width (adult hand) that you will wrap the yarn around. If a child is doing this depending on the size of their hand you will need to wrap the hand around four or five fingers.

 

 

2. Wrap your yarn around your fingers so you get a nice thick wodge of yarn. Thick is best for this so ‘over doing’  is better than ‘under doing’ this stage.

 

3. carefully slide one of the pipe cleaner legs through the wodge of yarn and twist tightly to secure.

 

4. Carefully snip through the loops of yarn trying to keep the lengths even.

5. Gently pull the yarn strands  down to cover the ;hoped part of the pipe cleaner and trim any irregular bits off. Create a little for with the pipe cleaner that will help your Yarn Monster stand up.

 

6. Curl each of the remaining pipe cleaner strands to create flat tight circles.
