Among our Easter Holiday traditions, I'd like to present Flopsie, Mopsie, and their family. Inspired by an artist on an Easter craft episode of Martha Stewart. ( I am always inspired by all things Martha) Jennifer Murphy was showing how to make adorable pom animals that she sold on the internet. My daughter, 12 at the time, and I sat down to try it, along with my mom. Falling in love with them, we have been making our own version ,as part of the easter to-dos ever since. They delight the family, the students at school, and friends who visit us. Try making them Lately I am having trouble locating flat deep blue beads or even seeds for the eyes. Oh!! Can anyone share a source for me to purchase more flat beads for eyes ?
 |
| The girls are homemade yarn poms, their clothing are cupcake papers, the rest are craft beads , flowers , and ribbons. |

| Pom ducks wiggle eyes and orange felt trianles for beak. Orange pipecleaners twisted for feet. |
In looking up my inspiration, artist, Jennifer Murphy, I saw there is a how-to lesson on her website site. I hesitate to copy paste it, as I am not sure what can be legally " re blogged".
Happy Spring time everyone! Posing to some of my faves, and a new favorite:

What darling little creations! Looks like you're all ready for the holiday. My kiddos would love these!
ReplyDeleteSupercute!
ReplyDeleteI love each and every one of these!
Happy Pink Saturday!! ~Lorraine ♥♥♥
Darling job. I love them. I haven't made these in years. I just used the poms you can buy. But I think the hand made poms gives your's way more personality. I hope I can find your inspiration's site. I'm not sure about all of that pinning and tagging either. I do know there has been alot of conversation about it on pinterest. For now I'll just check with the owner before I re blog pin or anything else. Thx for sharing your cuties.
