If you are looking for a super easy, super cute Easter craft than look no further than these adorably quick egg carton chickens. Perfect for holding chocolate – or real – eggs and a lot of fun to make, below are the step-by-step instructions on how you can make these little fellas!
Materials:
Directions:
- Cut out the chicken shapes from the egg carton, as per the image below. You should be able to get at least four out of a normal carton.
- Once you have cut them out, with the hot glue gun, add a set of craft eyes to each of the chickens. I actually painted one of the chickens above white beforehand. You can paint the chickens any base color you like or leave them as the natural, egg carton color.
- Cut the following shapes out of the felt sheets. From the yellow, a small yellow square that is folded diagonally along the center. From the red, a heart shape with a straight base (no point) and a small ‘chicken comb’ shape. With the hot glue gun, stick these onto the carton chickens as per the below picture.
-
Glue a selection of feathers onto each side of the chicken.
- And just like that – the egg carton little chickens are done. These are now the perfect little egg holders!
