Step-by-step craft instructions

Step 1- Gather all the craft materials and print out the printable.

Step 2- Take your pom-pom winder and wrap the yarn loosely around the winder. If you don’t have a winder, you can use a piece of cardboard, for example. The more yarn you wrap around your winder, the fluffier and prettier the pom-pom will be. See picture 2 above.

Step 3- When you’re done wrapping, cut a piece of yarn about 8 inches (20 cm) long. And tie it around the middle from your yarn bundle. Push the yarn off the winder and make a very tight double knot. See picture 4 above.

Step 4- Cut the loops of yarn a few at a time. Keep going until all the loops are all cut. When done, fluff out your pom-pom. See picture 5 above.

Step 5- By now your pom-pom looks silly and very uneven, don’t worry we’re going to fix that now. Grab the trim guide from your pom-pom maker set and center it on your pom-pom then cut all the way around the guide to make your pom-pom nice and round. Fluff out your pom-pom and move the guide to another side to trim. Repeat this step till your pom-pom is perfectly round. If you don’t have a trim guide, you can cut a round cardboard circle. See picture 6 and 7 above.

Step 6- Glue two big googly eyes on top of your pom-pom and create a smile from felt fabric or black paper.

Step 7: Let’s make the ice cream cone. You can use the colored printable (skip step 8) or you can print out only the black and white outline and trace it on a beige/light brown cardstock. See picture 9 above.

Step 8– When you have your layout of the ice cream cone on cardstock you can draw a raster on top to make your cone look more realistic. See picture 10 above.

Step 9- Glue your ice cream cone together. See picture 11 above.

Step 10- When your cones are finished, it’s time to glue the pom-poms on top. Glue around the inside (top) of your cone. I recommend using hot glue to make the yarn stick very well, but make sure to be careful and help the children with this step.
