Jellybean Chicks
If you’re looking for an easy Easter craft that the kids can make and give to friends and family, these darling little jellybean chicks are a great option. They make fun little placeholders for the dinner table as well!
What you need:
- Jellybeans
- Plastic Wrap
- Pipe cleaner
- Scissors
- Large yellow pom pom
- Glue gun
- 3 yellow craft foam hearts
- Small googly eyes
- Scrap of orange construction paper
- Miniature pom pom
How you make it:
- Place the jellybeans in the center of a square of plastic wrap. Gather the sides together and wrap with the pipe cleaner to secure.
2. Trim the excess plastic wrap about 1/2″ above the pipe cleaner. Glue the pom pom above the pipe cleaner to make a head. Glue two of the hearts to the opposite end to make the feet.
3. Cut the third heart in half to make the wings. Glue in place.
4. Cut the construction paper into a small diamond-shape for the beak. Glue it and the googly eyes to the face. Shape the ends of the pipe cleaner into a bow and glue a small pom pom to the center of the bow.
