Instructions
Basecoat the three 2″ flowerpots with light yellow acrylic craft paint and let dry. Apply a second coat if necessary.
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 frost felt, and then cut them out with scissors. Trace and cut out three beak patterns from orange felt. Cut fifteen strips approximately ⅛″ 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.
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. Glue the rick rack trim to the base of the flowerpot, using the photo for placement. You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
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.
To finish, trim the chicks’ combs with scissors, and fluff.
