How to make Pom Pom Love Birds for Valentines
We have a detailed crafty video here, if you would find that helpful!
Make your pom pom! We decided to make the large pom poms. Wrap both halves of the pom pom maker. And cut the thread.
Cut through the thread and using Upholstery thread to tie off. Make sure you have a nice strong knot to secure it.
Cut out Feet from cardstock paper.
Attach pom pom to the feet using the string left over when you tied off. Make a slit in the feet and tape the string to the underside.
String a bell and tie it around the base of the bird where it attaches to the feet.
Glue eyes and feathers.
Cut out a small square from cardstock and fold into a triangle to make a beak. Trim to size.
Cut out a strip of cardstock paper and write “I Love You!” (or any other sweet little message!)
Glue the message to the base of the Love Bird at the feet.
