Step 4: Wrap a pipe cleaner around the craft stick under the pom pom ball. Add a little glue to secure the pipe cleaner.
Step 5: Optional Character Hands: Tie a pipe cleaner around the craft stick. Twist a loop at the end of both sides and pinch in to form hands and fingers.
Step 6: Glue the shorter pipe cleaner pieces on top of the pom pom balls for antennas.
