Chicks in a Basket
- Total Time Needed:
- 1 Hour
Putting all your eggs in one basket is a bad idea, of course, but put all these chicks in a basket, and you've got one very cute centerpiece.
- Materials
-
- Kitchen shears
- Small basket
- Yellow work glove
- Craft glue
- Scissors
- Felt
- Small googly eyes
- Easter grass
- Ribbon or flat braid (optional)
- Instructions
-
-
Use the kitchen shears to cut a whole in the bottom of your basket that's big enough for your child to fit her hand through.
-
Stick the work glove up through the hole, leaving the cuff out.
-
Secure the cuff to the bottom with craft glue.
-
Tuck the thumb of the glove into the basket and glue it out of sight.
-
Cut four small triangular beaks out of the orange felt and four small combs out of the yellow felt.
-
Glue the combs to the tops of each gloved finger; glue the beaks -- slightly curved -- onto each "face."
-
Complete each face by gluing on a pair of googly eyes.
-
Add a small handful of Easter grass around the chicks in the basket.
-
- Variations:
- If desired, decorate the handle by wrapping it with pretty ribbon or braid.
