Easter time is chick time. Make these cute chicks and decorate these eye-catchers in your home. With just a few materials you can create the cute chick decoration. To the cardboard rolls - ready - go.

This is how the funny chicks are made:
Cut three cardboard rolls with the cutter in the middle and prime all of them yellow. Hold the eyes and beak against the cardboard and mark the places for the holes. Prick the holes with the awl. As the holes for the eyes have to be bigger, pierce the eyes once before for the right size and pull them out again for further processing.

Fill a small bowl with craft glue and brush it on the primed cardboard rolls with a brush. Sprinkle the cardboard rolls with the flake powder when wet. Put aside to dry.

Cut 6 x 1 cm strips from the felt for the wings. One strip is enough for one wing. Cut 2 x 7 cm long and 1 x 6 cm long pieces from one strip again. Fold them in the middle and glue them together with hot glue. Glue the two large strips on top of each other like a V, then glue the small strip in the middle.

For the circles on the sides, draw 12 circles on the glitter paper using a cardboard roll and cut them to size. Since the wings are also glued to the cardboard roll at the top with the face, a piece of the circles must be cut off.

Now prick the eyes and beaks. Glue the head and the body of the cardboard roll with hot glue on top of each other, as well as the wings and cylinders. The circles are simply glued on with craft glue.

Drape the tree slices on top of each other in an offset position and fix them with glue. Fix the chicks on top with glue and decorate with wood wool.
