Spring crafts

Barnyard Fuzzies

3 Styrofoam eggs
glue
Fluffy, curly, and smooth yarn
Felt, scissors
Black ball-head straight pins
Extra-fine permanent marker


1. Flatten one end of each egg by pressing it on a hard surface. Hold this end and put glue on the opposite end. Press the end of the yarn into the glue at the egg's tip and spiral it around half of the egg.

2. Apply glue to the other half of the egg.

3. Cut ears, a pig nose, and faces from felt. To make ear creases, dab glue on the ear's bottom edge and pinch from the back. Pin the creases in place until the glue sets.

4. Glue the ears and pig nose to the faces and attach the faces to the eggs' flat ends. Use pins for eyes, then draw on noses and mouths with a marker.
