Using your glue gun, attach the feathers.
Think of your block as a clock, start at 12 o'clock and work your way all the way around. Use the scissors to shorten the feathers as needed, be sure to save the cut pieces!
They work perfectly to fill in gaps.
The feather ends should all meet in the middle, just above the center of the block.
You'll cover them up with the beak piece...
Paint the beak and feet pieces orange. Sand or ink the edges and then glue them into place.
The beak will cover the feather ends and the feet should sit off center just a bit up from the bottom edge of the block.
Using the hammer, set the eyes into place...
Add a sweet little bow and your little chicky is done!
*I slipped a little flower under the "wing" in the top picture*
SO "TWEET!"
(Hehe! Look how cute they are as gift bags. They might be cuter than the intended present...)
Happy Crafting.
