Make these simple and cute bags to pop a gift into!
Materials
- Paper gift bags (The ones we used were Kraft paper, but any type will work)
- Yarn
- Fork
- Scissors
- Glue
- Tape (*Optional)
- Smock
- Craft tray
Directions
- We were curious to try out another method to make mini pom-poms.
- Tape the end of a piece of yarn to your fork. (Bigger children may skip this step.) Wrap your yarn around the eating portion of your fork. Then cut a small piece of yarn and put it through the slot in between the tines as shown, tying a knot.
- Cut the sides of your pom-pom and gently slide it off the fork or slide it off the fork and then trim the edges- both techniques work well!
- Trim your pom-poms to your desired size.
- Glue them onto your bag, making a tail. (You may want to wear a smock and put your bag into a craft tray to protect your clothes and surfaces.) Allow to dry overnight.
- Fill your bag and give it to a friend!
Purpose
- Thinking of others
Safety Notes
- Use scissors and a fork with care & supervision.
- Yarn can be a strangulation hazard therefore it should be used with adult supervision and for the intended purpose.
