Wrap yarn around two fingers or 2 pieces of cardboard, making sure to keep fingers slightly apart so as not to cut off circulation, or be unable to get the yarn off your fingers. It might even be good to put a pencil between the fingers or cardboard to make it easier to pull off--pull out the pencil first, then pull yarn off.
Twist 3 chenille wires around the middle of the yarn, then cut both ends where the yarn is looped. Fluff out yarn into a pom-pom and cut any stray yarn that might be too long.
Bend 4 of the ends in half to form 4 legs. Bend the remaining 2 ends of chenille wire
Bend the remaining 2 ends of chenille wire to form the face and ears.
Glue on googley eyes and adjust the legs until it can stand.
