These delicate little cotton ball easter chicks are perfect as a table decoration for Easter dinner! Use one near each place setting for a fun conversation starter or put a whole bunch of them in an empty egg carton in the center of the table!
Be sure to visit all of our sweet Easter and spring crafts, as well as our main Easter index and spring index for even more creative ideas.
What you'll need:
- 2 yellow pom-poms or yellow cotton balls
- Half of a clean egg shell
- Small piece of orange craft foam
- 2 google eyes
- Scissors
- White craft glue
- Wood doll base (the kind used with clothespins)
- Pastel colored craft paint
- Paintbrush
How to make it:
- Paint the doll base and set aside.
- Be sure that the egg shell is clean and dry. Glue the poms-poms inside the egg shell.
- Cut the craft foam into a triangle to make the beak. Glue onto the top yellow pom-pom.
- Glue google eyes above the beak.
- Glue the egg shell to the doll base.
Tips:
- Egg shells are very delicate so be sure to handle carefully so they don't crack.
- Some stores carry colorful cotton balls. If you can find yellow ones, they'll work well as a substitute for pom-poms in this craft.
- You can add small pom-poms in the front of the egg shell to act as baby wings if you like. They add a cute effect!
