Easter Craft Projects - Yarn Chicks
These are so adorable and easy to make. Make several and place them in Easter baskets. Size: About 2 1/2" high. Materials: Yellow nylon and wool fingering yarn, 1 skein for all. Pipe cleaner. Scraps of felt in yellow and dark brown or black. All-purpose glue. Cardboard. Chicks body: Wind yarn 115 times around a 2" piece of cardboard. Remove cardboard. Place a 2 1/2" piece of pipe cleaner across yarn; tie tightly around center. Bend pipe cleaner ends to form legs. Cut loops and trim into a ball, leaving hack strands longer to form a tail. Head: Wind yarn 75 times around a 1" piece of cardboard. Remove cardboard; tie tightly around center. Cut loops and trim into a ball. Fishing: Part yarn slightly in front of body and glue head to body. Glue five 4" strands of yarn, folded in half, to each side of body for wings. Glue two small pieces of black or brown felt to head for eyes. Complete half-patterns indicated by dash lines. From yellow felt, cut beak; fold in half on solid line and glue to front of head. Cut two leg and foot pieces as one: cut two separate bottom foot pieces, cutting out at dotted line. Fold leg in half lengthwise, slitting felt slightly on each side near foot. Glue around pipe cleaner legs. With cleaner between, glue bottom foot to upper foot. Bend leg tops around center strip on body pompon.
