This Easter chick is so easy to make with pompoms and is really cute. He can be used as a gift or a decoration, perhaps with some eggs. It is a great craft for kids to get involved in and they can all personalise theirs with different coloured wings or different eyes, etc

Attach the 2 pompoms together


If you have made your own pompoms and kept the long 'tying off' length of yarn then you can knot the two pompoms together using those lengths of yarn. That is what I have done. You can then also glue them if you are concerned about the knots holding. Trim the remaining lengths of yarn to match the pompoms.

You can learn how to make your own pompoms at my blog at Pompoms the easy way (without a pompom maker)

If you already have pompoms then simply glue them together.

Eyes, Beak and Feet


Next your chick needs some eyes, a beak and some feet. If you have some googly eyes they are great but if not simply cut out some white discs and smaller black discs from felt. Attach the black discs to the centre of the white ones and you now have eyes.

From the orange felt you need to cut a diamond shape for the beak and two feet. Experiment with the size of beak and feet you like. They just have to look right on your chick.

Now glue the feet to the base of the larger pompom.

Glue on the eyes and beak so that you get the expression you want. To make the beak fold the diamond for the beak in half and glue along the fold. Push it into the smaller pompom to suit the eyes.

 

Adding the wings


Cut 2 wings as shown in the picture from the yellow felt. To get identical wings simply fold the felt in half and cut them both out at the same time. Just have a go and try them against your chick. You can keep cutting them down until they are the right size.

 

Complete the chick


Glue the straight end of the wing into the gap between the head and body pompoms on the side of the chick. Repeat for the other side.


You now have a completed chick. Any problems take a look at my detailed post on my blog at Easter Chick
