- Create the Pom Pom Body: Begin by wrapping the red yarn around a piece of cardboard. The more you wrap, the fluffier your monster will be. Once you've achieved the desired thickness, carefully slide the yarn off the cardboard.
- Tie and Cut: Tie a separate piece of yarn tightly around the center of the looped yarn.
Then, snip the loops at both ends with scissors to create a pom pom. 
- Trim to Shape: Give your pom pom a haircut! Trim around until you have a nice round shape for your monster's body.
- Make the Heart Antennae: Bend pipe cleaners into shapes and twist them to create antennae, fold pipe cleaners into zigzag or heart shapes.
- Draw and Cut Heart-Shaped Feet: On a piece of red construction paper or cardstock, draw a heart shape that will serve as the monster's feet. Cut out the heart shape with scissors.
- Attach the Features: Using the hot glue gun, attach the googly eyes to the pom pom.
Then, glue the antennae in place. 
- Final Touches: Feel free to add any additional decorations, like a small bow tie or a heart-shaped sticker to personalize your Love Monster.
