Instructions

1. Cut a 5-inch square out of the sturdy cardboard
   using scissors or a utility knife.
2. Wrap the yarn around the square at least 100
   times. You can mix your yarn colors or use only
   one shade depending on what color you want your
   dog.
3. Cut a piece of yarn that is 6 inches in length.
   Slide it underneath the yarn on one side of the
   cardboard.
4. Tie the yarn tightly into a square knot.
5. Flip the cardboard over and cut through the
   middle of all the strands of yarns.

Instructions

1. Cut the ankle section out of the old sock. Fill
   it with old pillow stuffing, cotton batting or
   scrap fabric.
2. Sew the open edge of the sock together with the
   coordinating thread and needle. Use close
   stitching so that none of the stuffing will come
   out during use. This will form the dog body and
   provide a soft pillow for your child's head.
3. Cover the sock pillow with a generous portion of
   glue on the top and sides of the stuffed sock.

Instructions

1. Place the cut pompom in the center of the sock.
   Arrange the yarn so that it covers the sock
   portion well. This will give it a shaggy dog
   look. Allow the yarn and sock to dry completely
   before continuing.
2. Glue the wiggly eyes onto one end of the stuffed
   sock.
3. Trace paw shapes onto the craft foam and glue
   them to each end of the stuffed dog if you desire.

6
Instructions

1. Cut a small circle or triangle shape out of the
   black craft foam and glue it underneath the
   wiggly eyes to form the dog's nose.
2. Draw triangle shapes onto craft foam to create
   pointed dog ears or you may want to draw oval
   shapes to give the dog long floppy ears. Glue
   them onto the head of the dog near the wiggly
   eyes.
