Also, be sure to leave a bit of space on either end of the template so that when you cut through the middle of the bulge, you have a place to hold on to as well as to guide you as the yarn splits open and things get a bit messier. Note: Do not wind with tight tension as you will later be cutting through this yarn and if it’s too tight, it will be very difficult to cut through. You don’t need to tie any knots when you change the color, just simply cut the yarn and start winding with a new color. I encourage you to experiment with different colors to see what the various effects will be. You can also wind multiple colors at the same time to expedite the process and add a kind of speckled pattern to the pom. Using a hot glue gun, attach the eyes and beak to the smaller pom pom to make the chick’s face. You need it to actually look like a beak before you attach it to the head, otherwise the felt will just pop open. Then pinch it together into a beak shape. You can cut the yarn and start a new color if you want to add some stripes or marbling to the finished product. Add a small dab of glue from the glue gun to the center of the diamond. You will continue to do this until you have a dense bulge of yarn covering your shape.
