finding a use for yarn scraps

[ratcreature]

I made a small polar bear from yarn pompons. I followed instructions from a book for the pompons, but they used something called "chenille wire" for the ears (which I didn't have -- it seems like pipe cleaners in different colors made for crafts?) so I used small felt pieces, and I didn't have a bigger pearl for the nose either, so I used a fabric covered button, which was slightly larger and also blue rather than black. The eyes are also blue wooden pearls because I didn't have black. I didn't want to buy a bunch of new craft supplies to use up leftover craft supplies. It turned out okay and quite cute, I think.

(And you are correct, the chenille wire are pipe cleaners.)

That's adorable, I love the big paws and the nose is perfect.

[ratcreature]

Thank you, and I agree that the bigger but flatish nose fits and makes it look even cuter, so that substitution worked out.
