Yarn Wrapped Rock Monsters
What you will need:
rocks (either gather them on a walk or buy them from a store – craft stores, dollar store, home and garden store…)
yarn – I’m really loving the multicolor yarn
white school glue
black marker
scissors
Now that we’ve got our rocks ready let’s start making silly monsters.
We’ll start with the hair. Wrap a good amount of yarn around your fingers and cut on top and on bottom – you’ll get two sets of monster hair which. “Hair” in each of those sets should still stick together somewhat (this is helpful but not necessary).
Apply a generous amount of glue on top of the rock (one side) and add one set of hair. Spread the
yarn hair across the rock and gently press down with fingers (some might fall off). Let dry for a while and do the same on the other side. Let dry.
Now comes the fun wrapping part. Start in the middle by tying the yarn around the rock. Start wrapping the yarn towards the hair adding glue as you go. Make sure you wrap some of the hair too (we don’t want monster hair roots to be showing do we?). When done wrapping (you can even double wrap – first up to the “hair” and then back to the middle) apply a generous amount of glue and tie the
yarn.
Add some googly eyes and draw in the scary, ehm silly, mouth.
