Research has shown how important YOU are to your children and how as a dad the things you do, and keep on doing, really count, whether you live with them, or you are a single dad and are only able see them once a month, once a week or more, what you do really matters. This site is dedicated to all dads but will be of special relevance to the single dad. Remember, you are half the reason your children exist and they need you whether you live with them or not. As their dad, you have what it takes to make their lives successful and fulfilling no matter how often you see them.

Fluffy Ladybird (Ladybug)

Spotty wool, how will you do it?
These instruction show you how. Slightly trickier than making a pompom with one colour, but not that difficult really and the effect is great. Use any two colours to make this fluffy pompom bug, and remember that Ladybirds come in all kinds of red, oranges and yellows, but then why not make a bright green or bright blue one as well. If a ladybird lands on you it is meant to be good luck, so don’t stand around in the garden waiting for a Ladybird to come to you, make some luck for yourself and make this fluffy pompom bug, then it can land on you whenever you want! When gluing the eyes on to the head, because they are so small, put a very small spot of glue gun glue on the head and put the eye on to that. Be careful not to burn your fingers, if you have a pin, pick the eye up and position it with the pin.
. . .
 And now you don't even need wool to make a pompom, so you can get going on this project right away! A great way to reuse those plastic grocery bags, is by using them to make your pompoms. If you tie off the pompom with more plastic bag, then you can still recycle the finished pompom as if it was a normal plastic bag. You can also use black, white or green dustbin liners, or sandwich bags, which come in a range of subtle colours. Plastic bag pompoms will work for any of the Funky Pompom projects on dadcando. To make them all you do is replace the wool steps with the plastic bag. To make it easier to thread, you might want to cut the bag into wide strips, but as long as you can thread the bag through the centre of the discs then it's ok. A plastic bag pompom has a glossy slippery finish that is much softer than you would imagine and is a good alternative to wool.
The pompom instructions and printable graphic templates are so simple to follow. They give amazing results and are available in either A4 or US Letter formats, just click on the size you need to download.
