Attach the pipe cleaner tongue to the underside of the spoon by winding it around the pipe cleaners which form the front legs. Cut the pink pipe cleaner in half and curl it around your finger or a pencil to help get the spiral shape.Glue a line of small pom poms all along the top of the tail pipe cleaner too. Pom poms are very absorbent so you’ll need to be quite generous with the amount of glue you use or it might not stick. Glue the pom poms on to create the body with your tacky craft glue.Wind the tail onto the pipe cleaner legs at the back on top of the spoon as shown in the image above. Wrap one around the top end of the handle to create the front legs and one around the bottom end to make the back legs. Tacky craft glue, or if your prefer a hot glue gun.A pink or red pipe cleaner to make the tongue.I’ve used one large, two medium, one small and 5 even smaller for the body, as well as two white along with two mini black ones to make the bulging eyes Would you like to see how to make one too? It’s easy, I promise. Today I’ve made something a bit different, a cute little pom pom gecko. They can be fun to use as decorative bits and bobs that you glue onto things and my own kids love to make catapults for them using wire coat hangers. The store-bought pom poms are often included in those general kids craft kits that you can buy cheaply so many of you probably have them at home already. Often I make my own using a DIY pom pom maker but I also have store-bought acrylic ones in all different colours and sizes in our supply cupboard. So cute! It’s a fun animal craft idea which is simple to put together, but warning – your fingers might get sticky! Today Im sharing this easy pom pom gecko craft, which uses a wooden teaspoon as the body and bendy pipe cleaners for the legs and tail.
