Wooden Easter Chicks



So here is the last installment of my wooden Easter crafts using a plain egg template series.  I LOVE the way these chicks turned out.  I may even like them more than the eggs I previously posted.  And they were fairly simple to make.  Again they were made from the same egg form that my dad cut out for me.  I found templates online for the feet and hand drew the template for the beak.  I cut the beak and feet out from chipboard.  The hair is cut from a feather craft boa.

First I painted the egg yellow and then covered the front with scrapbook paper, distressed the edges, and sealed it with Modge Podge.  The feet and beak were cut from chipboard, and then covered with scrapbook paper, distressed, and sealed as well. 

The eyes were painted on with a paint pen (best invention ever for small detail work), the hair was cut from a feather boa, and then finished with a ribbon.

This gal was made the same way, only done in purple.  I decided to do pig tails for her.

Isn't she so CUTE?!?!

My pair of finished Easter Chicks.  Perfect companion to my Eggs.

My Eggs and Chicks all together!!  I absolutely love the way they all turned out!!

I hope you enjoyed my Easter Chicks.  So easy to make, but yet so cute!!  The last Easter craft I'm working on are Easter Bunnies made from 2x4s.  Just have to finish some burlap ears for them.  Will post the finished products later!!

Another shameless plug for you to visit my Etsy Store and check out what I have for sale.
