Easter pompom buddies - Chick and Bunny

Friday, March 21st, 2008

easter pompom buddies chick bunny craft

Those are so simple that very small ones can make them (well, except for operating glue gun, of course)

Craft supplies

Pompoms - big for the body and smaller for the head (same thing as with snowmen :) ) - for each

Couple wiggle eyes - for each

Two small yellow pompoms for chick’s wings and one small pink pompom for bunny’s tail

Small white pompom for bunny’s nose

Red foam scraps for chick’s comb and beak and for bunny’s mouth

Chenille stems - yellow for chick’s 2 feet and pink for bunny’s ears and 4 feet

Slim white chenille stem for bunny’s whiskers

Loaded glue gun

Directions

Just connect all the supplies together as you see on the picture :) First, you glue together head and body and then attach all the “details”. Don’t forget to check how your pet stands on his feet before gluing them (tip: try to glue them underneath the whole bottom so it’s stable). You don’t see bunny’s tail here on the picture… Just believe us it’s there :)

Hoppy and clucky Easter!
