Make quick and easy Eyeball Pom Poms at Halloween or just for fun!
What you will need:
- Yarn - Black, Blue, White, Green, Red (for nerves)
- Pom Pom Maker
- Long darning needle
- Scissors
I'm using my favourite Clover Pom Pom makers in size Small available HERE
But if you are using a different tool, the technique will be roughly the same.
1. Start with the black PUPIL
2. Then the IRIS colour
3. Make the WHITE of the eye
4. Then choose a colour and fill this side of the maker
5. FILL the other side in solid colour
If you are using a pom maker close this securely now.
6. CUT through all layers
7. TIE a loop of yarn right through the center and secure with a double knot!
8. REMOVE your Pom from the maker, you will have a messy FLUFF BALL
9. TRIM your fluff ball and give it a really good haircut to achieve the round shape.
10. NERVES
Add some Nerve endings at the back with red yarn or Embroidery Thread, the key is that it splits well for the ends. Thread a couple of loose ends right through the eye ball (gross!) then fray the ends for authentic effect.
ALL DONE
Now make lots and think about how you can use them to scare your friends!
Why not make a bowl full of them for a Halloween party or string them into a gruesome garland to hang up. Try using different Iris colours.
