Materials

  • 3 2".5cm Flowerpots
  • Felt Fabric - Lemon Frost 1, Orange (1)
  • Rick Rack Trim – ½″ wide Pink Green, Purple (or trim of choice)
  • Light Yellow Acrylic Craft Paint
  • Googly Eyes
  • Plain Paper
  • Flowerpot Chick Trio Patterns

Instructions
 

  • Basecoat the three flowerpots with light yellow acrylic craft paint and leave to dry. Apply a second coat if necessary.


    Painting the Pots Yellow
  • If the hole in the flowerpot is small, make it larger by gently scraping it with the metal blade from a pair of scissors.


  • Download and print the patterns for the Flowerpot Chick Trio. Cut out the patterns to use as templates.
  • Using a permanent marker, trace six wings on lemon felt, and then cut out with scissors.
  • Trace and cut out three beak patterns from orange felt.
  • Cut fifteen strips approximately 1/8″ by 9″ for the comb from orange felt.

    TIP: Cut inside the traced line, so that your project looks neat and clean. You can also pin the paper patterns to the felt and cut them out with scissors.


    Cutting Felt with Template
  • Adhere the wings to the right and left sides of each chick with a glue gun and glue sticks. Attach the beaks and wiggle eyes to complete the chicks’ faces.


    Attaching Wings Beak & Eyes
  • Glue the rick rack trim to the base of the flowerpot, using the photo for placement.



    Gluing Rik Rack to Pots
  • To create the chicks’ combs, gather five orange felt strips, twist them several times in the center, and fold them in half.
  • Secure the comb in the flowerpot drain hole with the glue gun and glue sticks.


    Gluing Chick Comb
  • To finish, trim the chicks’ combs with scissors, and fluff.


    Cutting Comb to Size
  • Display where desired and Happy Easter!
