Pom Pom Flamingos
Oh what fun flamingos are! These pom pom flamingos that Krista came up with are such a cute craft for kids and adults. Plus you can use them in different ways, like adding a key ring to create a keychain or hanging multiple to make a garland.
Though our tutorial shows only the small pom pom maker, our PDF template includes two other sizes if you want to make larger pom pom flamingos. Just check out our supplies list below to get started!

Flamingo Fun
To create these pom pom flamingos, we used yarn for the fluffy “feathers,” embroidery floss for the legs, and felt pieces for the head and feet. The final step is adding a loop at the top of the flamingo, making it easy to add to a key ring or garland. If you decide to make your own garland, you could even add some small tropical flowers and leaves from this felt tropical garland.
Skill level: Beginner
Crafting tip: Using acrylic yarn makes for a fluffier pom pom!
