Hello! In this instructable, i will be showing everyone how to make a totoro dust bunny chain. The ones that i found online were pretty expensive for a chain, so i decided to make my own!


FYI on Totoro dust bunnies:
These little critters are from a movie called My Neighbor Totoro. In the movie, these dust bunnies were originally called "Makkuro Kurosuke" or directly translated as " Pitch-black Blackie". According to an elderly lady in the movie, they were also called "Susuwatari" or " Traveling Soot". These dust bunnies were perfectly harmless and liked to live in places where there where not a lot of people. These dust bunnies are also incredibly cute.

Now that you know what these are, let's get started!!!

Materials
For one to be able to make an appealing dust bunny you must need:

- Pom Pom Balls of the color black ( then again if you wish to make a multi-colored one, no one's stopping you )

- Scissors ( fabric scissors are best )

- Hot Glue Gun ( with Hot Glue Gun sticks )

- Black Marker ( dry-erase, sharpie...etc..)

-Some sort of string-like attachment ( the one i used was found in a salvation from the mess i call my room )

- hoomin ( Homo sapiens sapiens )
