The funny monsters bring good mood into the home. They are made of styrofoam balls that look very friendly and funny when painted and shaped into a monster. The craft idea is therefore also ideal for crafting with children. Learn how to do it here.

How to make an XL pompom monster


First, glue the two halves of the styrofoam ball together with craft glue. Important: If you want your monster to stand, glue the ball to a styrofoam ring. Do you want it to hang? Then attach the ribbon to a wooden stick, and place it between the halves from the inside before gluing them together. This way the wooden stick will get wedged and the ribbon cannot be pulled out.

2. Now spread the decorative snow on the ball with the help of a plastic spatula. Let it dry well. Then you can paint it with any craft paint you like.

3. For the arms and legs, cut the figure wire into strands of different lengths and paint them with craft paint. After the drying time, you can then bend them into any shapes and glue them to the styrofoam balls with hot glue.

Now transfer the motif templates onto the foam rubber. The "Strich-Ex" pen is very suitable for this. The lines can then be wiped off with a little water - so you get a clean result. Cut all the parts and glue them to the monster with hot glue.

Tip: For smaller monsters you can also use wiggle eyes with a diameter of 30 mm, as well as chenille wire instead of figure wire.
