Base coat the front and sides of the Chick with yellow acrylic craft paint.
Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
STEP THREE
Download and print the Craft Stick Chick Patterns, then cut out with scissors.
Trace the beak once onto orange craft felt. Trace the head feather rectangle once onto orange craft felt.
Cut out all patterns with scissors making sure to cut inside the traced lines for a clean, finished project.
Fringe the length of the orange felt rectangle with scissors, but do not cut all the way through.
You could also use colored cardstock or craft foam instead of felt for this project.
STEP FOUR
Attach two wiggle eyes to the Chick’s face with a glue gun and glue sticks.
Create cheeks by dipping a sponge dabber into pink acrylic craft paint and stamping on either side of the face.
Glue the Chick’s beak just under the eyes.
Draw two dots at the top center of the beak with a permanent marker.
STEP FIVE
Fold the Chick’s head feather into thirds and secure with a glue gun and glue sticks.
