Tutorial to Crochet Worm Fidget Plushie
This quick and easy crochet project teaches you how to make a bendable fidget gummy worm that is perfect for using up scrap yarn. Instead of traditional stuffing, the secret material inside is a foam hair roller with a flexible wire core, allowing the worm to twist and bend into different shapes.
The process involves gluing the plastic tips of the hair roller so they don’t poke through, crocheting a simple tube casing with a color change in the middle, and slipping the foam roller inside before decreasing to close it up.
Finally, you embroider two simple black lines for the eyes to keep it safe for fidgeting, resulting in a fun, squishy toy that is a big hit at craft markets!
