Every year at my daughter’s school, they do a market. Each kid sells items they have made and can buy items from other kids. This year we are pulling out all of the stops for a fun Harry Potter themed store. We are making wands, monster books, potion bottles and these darling little Pygmy Puffs. We have been making these little tiny puffs for years. They are so easy to create and so much fun to play with. My kids also love making popsicle stick cages for them for even more fun!
DIY Pygmy Puffs
You will need:
- a large pom-pom (Pygmy Puffs come in pink and purple)
- one medium size pom-pom

- hot glue
- round black beads

You can make these puffs in any size you want, as long as you can find a pom-pom big enough. I used 2 inch ones for the body and then based all of the sizes from there.
First hot glue your head to the body of your puff. You want to REALLY squeeze these two together.
Next add ears and feet. I have found these are really adorable when you use a contrasting shade of the same color, but the same color works too.
