Make your own ~ Pom Pom Easter Chick

Craft/ DIY/ Kids Craft/ Tutorial

Another wonderful crafty DIY tutorial by PeekyMe.

Lets make a Pom Pom Easter Chick!

Craft supplies you need:

Cardboard
Wool
Plastic needle (if you don’t have one then just feed the wool through the hole using your fingers)
Coloured markers, textas, crayons or even washi tape to colour and make the feet and beak
Scissors
String

How to make your Chick:

1. Draw the outline of the chicken twice, as you need 2 chickens for the pom pom to form correctly.

2. Cut out the chickens and use a blade or scissors to carefully cut a small hole in the middle.

3. Thread the wool through the plastic needle. You will need a few metres of wool, so it’s best not to cut it until you’ve finished.

4. Loop the wool through the hole and around the outside of the chicken multiple times until it’s approximately 2-3 layers thick.

5. Cut around the wool using the gap between the cardboard as a guide.

6. Once you’ve finished, place the piece of string around the chicken but in between each cardboard piece. Pull the string tight and tie a knot.

7. Fluff out the wool and trim any long ends.

8. Colour in the feet, beak and give the chick some eyes.

You might like to make a few chicks to hang on a mobile or a garland for Easter. You could even try doing it with a bunny rabbit outline too!
