"Hi this is Andrew Jenkins on behalf of expertvillage.com. Now in this clip I'm going to be talking about different accessories that you could buy at craft stores and department stores to make your to give your pipe cleaner crafts a little bit more of a pop. Now right here I got this bumble bee that I made and I will show you how to make that in a little bit. What is lacking from the bumble bee are googley eyes these would just give it that final touch that makes them buzz over and say hello. Now what you are going to want to need are goggley eyes or what I got here are pom poms these are made by the same brand of the people who make the Chenille Stems or pipe cleaners, it is Tree House studios, they come in this little multicolor package and you usually get around 30-40 pom poms per bag in a bag this size. Now once you get these you just take them out like this and you need to get a hot glue gun. I don't have it plug in right now for safety sake. With kids you need to get a parent before you do plug it in but, you just apply a little dab of hot glue to the end of the pom pom and take your pipe cleaner and just hold it on there for a good 30 seconds to a minute and then you can let it go and you got it affixed and it is not going to go anywhere and you got your pipe cleaner craft a little more down to home and looking a little character then what you would with out it.
