Learn how to make a fun kids' craft with this tutorial, showing you how to make a pom pom covered letter R - perfect for a kids' room!
Kids rooms are the perfect place for colorful decorations, and even better when they're handmade and add a personal touch!
Colored pom poms are a cheap craft supply you can find anywhere, and they come in all different sizes from just a few millimeters to an inch in diameter or bigger.
We will use a wooden letter R and decorate it with colorful pom poms in today's easy kids' craft tutorial - how to make a pom pom letter R.
How to Make a Pom Pom Letter R
Step 1. Gather Supplies
Supplies Needed:
- Wooden Letter - we used an "R" but you can use any letter(s) you want! ABCs would be fun for a preschool classroom!
- Colorful Pom poms
- Hot Glue Gun and Glue
Step 2. You can paint the letter or leave it plain - it's up to you.
We painted the letter R white.
Step 3. Begin hot gluing pompoms onto the front of the letter.
We decided to use pom poms that were all close to the same size, to give the project a uniform look despite the huge variety of colors.
You could experiment with using all of the different sizes of pom poms in your project. The result will be more eclectic when there is a range of sizes from tiny to huge.
Pay attention to the colors as you're gluing, too. We tried hard to not place two of the same color next to each other because we wanted a lot of variations in the colors.
Step 4. Continue gluing pom poms around the front of the letter.
We used some smaller pom poms to fill gaps along the edges where larger poms would have been too big.
We decided only to add pom poms to the front surface of the letter; not the sides.
This helped the project look clean and polished.
It would be fun to do the same project but add pom poms around the inside and outside edges to see what difference it makes.
Isn't it cute??
Perfect for a kids' room, classroom, or daycare decor!
This craft project could even be made on a bigger scale with a huge cardboard letter like the one we used in this jumbo flower letter tutorial.
Use whatever letter applies to the kids in your life and you have a super fun craft the kids will love!
